Garantizar la integridad electoral no consiste sólo en proteger las elecciones de sucesos negativos, sino también en defender los principios fundamentales de la igualdad de género. La discriminación y la representación desigual dentro de los sistemas electorales pueden perpetuar barreras sistémicas que obstaculizan la participación y el liderazgo de las mujeres en la política y, en última instancia, socavan la integridad de las elecciones. Al garantizar que las medidas para abordar los riesgos, amenazas y crisis electorales sean sensibles al género, podemos avanzar tanto en la integridad electoral como en el progreso social hacia la igualdad de género.
