Think10 Questionnaire & Guide
Violence against women in politics is a specific type of violence meant to discourage women from engaging in all political activities: political discussions, voting, running for office. NDI's think10 safety planning tool provides women in politics guidance on how to evaluate and enhance their personal security by combining scores from a self-assessment questionnaire and the country score from NDI’s new Women’s Political Participation Risk Index (WPPRI).
