This research highlights the challenges faced by women in politics, including various forms of violence against women in politics (VAWP) and elections (VAWE) that often remain unrecorded, normalized, and frequently overlooked by formal institutions.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7b8fb01957418a11af3ea2887a38dfdc wp-block-paragraph\">Initial findings indicate a significant gap in the availability of and access to accurate data. Information regarding violence against women in politics (VAWP) and elections (VAWE) remains fragmented, poorly documented, and difficult to track, making it challenging to identify risks and formulate effective policies. This situation underscores the urgent need for a stronger and more comprehensive monitoring system and data framework.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12449d02b76aaf4ae61a923433efe610 wp-block-paragraph\">Together with the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), Puskapol UI strives to strengthen the data and evidence base to create a safer and more equitable political environment for women. This study advocates for the development of uniform data collection standards at the ASEAN level, the establishment of an integrated data center involving electoral bodies, parliaments, political parties, and civil society organizations, and cross-sectoral cooperation to enhance protection and accountability. This initiative is a crucial step towards fostering more meaningful political participation for women and strengthening inclusive democracy in the region.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3583651ead480dd419c6ad1454c03831 wp-block-paragraph\">A complete description of the research findings and recommendations can be accessed on the official Puskapol UI website.
