RepresentWomen is a non-profit organization focused on advancing women’s representation and leadership in elected and appointed offices in the United States. It advocates for institutional reforms to accelerate women's political representation, drawing on practices used in nations that rank higher than the US and adapting these approaches to U.S. jurisdictions. The organization serves policymakers, advocates, and researchers interested in governance and gender parity by providing analysis and evidence on electoral systems and recruitment practices, as well as tracking progress through measurement tools. Based in Silver Spring, Maryland, RepresentWomen positions itself within the non-profit sector that studies governance and reform, and it collaborates with coalitions and reform networks as part of its broader advocacy and research work. Notable recent developments include the launch of analytical reports and measurement tools such as the Gender Parity Index and the Golden Year Analysis, along with events like the Democracy Solutions Summit to discuss strategies for achieving parity.
