Question Title

* 13. How would you advise to increase the presence of women in policy debates?

No need to do anything, it will happen on its own

Organisations that send speakers to events should ensure gender diversity in who they send

Those who organise events should make binding measures, e.g. quotas, to ensure a certain percentage of women speakers at their events

Those who organise events should offer incentives, e.g. economic advantages, to participating organisations to ensure a certain percentage of women speakers

Awareness building: The issue of gender diversity in policy debates must be mentioned/debated more, e.g. in the media
