European political parties and European political foundations should lead by example in closing the gender gap in the political domain. Their governing bodies should therefore be gender balanced. European political parties and European political foundations should have internal rules in place promoting gender balance, encouraging active participation of women in all their activities, and should invite their member parties to do the same. In addition, European political parties should be transparent about the gender representation of their member parties and should provide evidence on their member parties’ gender representation as regards candidates to and members of the European Parliament. The European political parties are encouraged to provide information in relation to their member parties’ on inclusiveness and representation of minorities.
