The World Forum for Democracy (WFD) is a platform for dialogue and democratic innovation which brings new ideas into the work of the Council of Europe and promotes its principles across the world. The 2018 World Forum for Democracy will take place in Strasbourg on 19-21 November 2018. This year, the Forum will focus on gender equality and women’s rights, in particular on women’s public and political participation and on combating violence against women in the wake of the #MeToo campaigns. Organisations / institutions worldwide are invited to express their interest in presenting their initiatives in the Labs that will take place at the Forum before 30.05.2018.
