Since the late 1990s, gender equity in political representation has been a central focus of the EU and UN agendas. The Czech Republic adopts these frameworks, but national strategies are weakly enforced due to structural and financial barriers, as well as fragmented oversight. This report identifies the primary challenges, explores the impact of global stereotypes, spotlights effective EU policies, and provides clear recommendations for the Czech Parliament.

Key Takeaways:

• The Czech Republic is low-ranked for gender equality in political representation in the European Union, and globally.
• Structural barriers, such as internal office management and systemic stereotypes, pose limitations to ongoing progress.
• Drawing on successful policies from Nordic Countries shows the need for internal reform.
