Some political parties have special ‘wings’ or sections for women. This can help them to learn political skills and develop networks within a party. Women’s wings can often influence party positions, especially on issues of special concern to them. They are most effective when linked directly to party leadership and decisionmaking bodies. However, when this is not the case, women’s wings can lead to their compartmentalisation or marginalisation within the party.
