The equality of women and men in the right to participate in political activities is recognized by the majority of Russians (82%). 17% disagree with this; men (23%) and young people aged 18 to 24 (35%) are more radical.
“Society has formed a stable demand for women’s participation in politics. However, the rather restrained attitude towards women politicians among young people indicates the need for further implementation of programs aimed at providing opportunities for self-realization for women in the political sphere,” says Elena Mikhailova, director of special programs at VTsIOM.
