50.50 is openDemocracy's site dedicated to exploring issues of gender equality and empowerment at the global level. We are committed to promoting human rights and inclusive democracy through dialogue and debate. But a global debate without the female half of humanity is neither global nor democratic. Women's exclusion from the global conversation affects both the content of the debate and the way the dialogue is conducted. With this in mind, 50.50 runs a series of editorial dialogues designed to include the views and analysis of those marginalised in society and make openDemocracy a mainstream current affairs forum which is written, read and used equally by women and men.
