Achieving women's equal political participation and representation is formally recognised as a key global priority by the international community, yet there is enhanced recognition that representative democracy has failed to deliver political equality for all women. Descriptively under-represented in the world's democracies, women, especially minoritised and marginalised women, experience something far short of 'good' representation. These are moreover 'troubled times': we face potentially devastating natural and human-made crises (climate change, global pandemics, and economic inequality and insecurity). The rise of populism not only contests the value of representative democracy to respond to these but does so frequently by deploying anti-feminist and antigender claims that threaten women's rights and undermine gender equality. Evidence outlining how and when women in their diversity are well represented in politics is needed to sustain the necessary political will on behalf of domestic and global actors to counter anti-democratic and anti-gender equality ideas and practices; and to enable political and civil society actors to build genuine relationships between women and democratic politics, whereby women's political equality is fully realised. QUALREP redresses this need by conducting a theoretically rich, comparative empirical analysis of the quality of women's political representation, attentive to their intersectional and ideological diversity and with particular concern to the most marginalised women, across five European nations: Belgium; Britain; Poland; Portugal and Sweden. In so doing, it develops a conceptual framework and methodology applicable in the future to global research across diverse democracies that can help establish the features of, and conditions for, high quality women's political representation providing an essential evidence base for advocacy and policy making that advances gender equality in politics and beyond.

国际社会实现妇女平等的政治参与和代表的正式认可为全球优先事项，但人们越来越认识到，代表民主未能为所有妇女提供政治平等。在世界民主国家，尤其是少数化和边缘化的妇女的妇女中，妇女的描述性不足，经历了“良好”的代表。此外，这些是“陷入困境的时期”：我们面临潜在毁灭性的自然和人为危机（气候变化，全球大流行以及经济不平等和不安全感）。民粹主义的兴起不仅质疑代表民主对这些民主做出回应的价值，而且通过部署反女权主义者和反派人物的频繁做出反应，声称威胁妇女权利并破坏性别平等。概述了在政治中需要很好地代表自己的多样性妇女，以代表国内和全球行为者来维持必要的政治意愿，以抵抗反民主和反向主义和反性别平等的思想和实践；并使政治和民间社会行为者能够在妇女与民主政治之间建立真正的关系，从而充分实现妇女的政治平等。通过对妇女的政治代表质量进行理论上丰富的比较经验分析，对妇女的政治代表的质量进行了对她们的交叉和意识形态多样性的关注，并特别关注最边缘化的妇女，在五个欧洲国家：比利时，对妇女的交叉和意识形态多样性的关注来补偿这一需求：英国;波兰;葡萄牙和瑞典。通过这样做，它开发了一种适用于未来的概念框架和方法论，适用于跨不同民主国家的全球研究，这些概念框架和方法可以帮助建立高质量妇女的政治代表的特征和条件，从而为倡导和政策提供了基本的证据基础，从而提高了政治及以后的性别平等。
