The European Institute for Gender Equality’s (EIGE) online self-assessment tool for Gender-sensitive Parliaments monitors and assesses gender sensitivity in the organisation and working procedures of parliaments. The assessment is broken down into five areas, each measuring a specific aspect of gender sensitivity. Responses to the assessment questionnaire result in a score for each Area, which can be cumulated to produce an overall gender sensitivity rating.
This indicator shows the scores derived from EIGE's 2023 assessment overall and by area. For methodological reasons the 2023 scores are not directly comparable with those from the 2019 exercise.
Further information can be found in the methodological report for the 2023 survey and an additional methodological note that describes the scoring model used to calculate indicator scores and provides a brief analysis of the 2023 results.
Note that for countries with a bicameral parliament the score shown for each area and overall is the highest achieved by either the lower or upper house
