Violence against female politicians disrupts democracy

Leading female politicians are more exposed to violence every year, than their male colleagues. The gender gap in targeting increases with the level of power: the higher up in the political hierarchy a person is, the greater the difference between women and men. Violence against politicians disturbs the functioning of democracy, is the conclusion in a new doctoral thesis in political science.
