Our Mission
For two decades, research has been clear: countries with more women in political leadership see stronger democracies, higher trust in government, and less corruption. Women leaders tend to bridge divides and champion policies that include more voices.
​
But today, despite the benefits, progress is stalling. Women entering politics face growing hostility, and their representation in parliaments is slowing down globally.
That’s where ELECTA comes in.
​
ELECTA is Europe’s first academy dedicated to helping women win elections. We offer female political candidates from across the political spectrum a one-week intensive programme led by political strategists and electoral campaign experts with first-hand experience in winning elections.
