Abstract

The article examines the methodology of implementing gender policy, which is one of the main factors in achieving democracy. It is substantiated that the analysis of the world political practice and the regulatory framework of states showed that gender policy is perceived by the leadership of countries as an important direction of state activity, which is implemented with the aim of achieving a high political and legal status at the world level, striving to become a universally recognized democratic state. The national laws of Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, the USA and Canada, signed international agreements and the creation of special state structures entrusted with the function of gender policy implementation were considered. It has been proven that women are still underrepresented in parliaments, governing bodies and political parties in the region, although gender issues have entered public discourse and debate. It was established that the interests of women are rarely taken into account and acted upon. It is substantiated that the populist and illiberal turn in European politics caused negative consequences for the gender agenda. Therefore, the study of political representation of women remains timely and relevant.
