UN-INSTRAW is an Affiliate Organization of iKNOW Politics, which is designed to increase the number and effectiveness of women in political life by utilizing a technology enabled forum to provide access to resources, expertise, dialogue, and knowledge creation on women’s political participation. iKNOW Politics brings together women involved in politics around the world in order to give them access to valuable resources and advisory services, share interests and experiences, participate in training and development, and network and collaborate on issues of interest. Members have access to experts and practitioners who can advise candidates and elected officials on how to develop and implement successful campaign and advocacy strategies with the goal of getting more women engaged in politics. The network also facilitates direct contact between women leaders to share relevant experiences, challenges and successes with one another.
