The results show that Landskrona, with a higher proportion of female elected officials, prioritizes women's issues to a greater extent compared to Trelleborg. This confirms the hypothesis that increased female representation leads to a more inclusive political agenda. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of how women's representation influences political decisions at the municipal level and emphasizes the importance of continued efforts to increase women's representation in politics to ensure fair and inclusive societal development. Limitations include the study's time frame and geographical focus. (Less)
