Inclusive Democracy

Inclusion in participatory democracy involves intentional planning and design choices that ensure the representation of traditionally excluded communities in decision-making. This includes considering the structural barriers different groups face, as well as the internal diversity and intersectionality within these groups. Addressing these barriers is key to elevating their voices and making processes equitable.
