UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace, and security. Placing women’s rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. Elections that are not based on popular participation and development programs produces election campaigns that provide politicians the opportunities for mass mobilization and manipulation of electoral rules. This form of election leads to material inducement, political intimidation, vote selling, and generally electoral violence. As noted by election analysts, any form of activity, which aim to deny citizens the freedom to express their electoral preferences, are incontrovertibly illegal. It follows that most election are not issue based or based on promises that can sway the interest of the people, people are persuaded to sell off their votes in exchange for money and material gains Electoral violence has serious wholesome consequences for democracy, respect for human rights and good governance. Electoral violence affects the entire credibility of the democratic system, human security and wanton destruction of properties. Electoral violence also erodes the credibility of the rule of law and impact negatively in democratic activities. Above all electoral violence deprive women from active participation as voters and candidates in elections. To this end, UN Women intends to support documentation of Women’s experiences before, during and after the elections.
