Running for office means running a campaign—and depending on the position, that can be very expensive. For many women in politics, financing is the biggest hurdle. It is often particularly difficult for first-time candidates. If the party provides little funding, there are no existing contacts to donors, and personal savings are lacking, starting a political career can quickly become a financial burden. This effectively excludes many women—especially those who do not have personal wealth.
