Only some parties mention the necessity of gender equality in their programmes.

The Mission is engaged in promoting inter party dialogue as well as reconciliation and tolerance among the political parties.

However, the programmes and the actions of the parties are not always consistent the need for gender equality is sometimes emphasised by those political parties that in their political activities demonstrate mostly male dominated leadership teams (United People's Party, Res Publica).

While several of the main political parties had implemented gender quota systems, more needed to be done to achieve true equality between women and men.

The balance of men and women, however, is absent in the internal party hierarchy average 16 of board members of political parties were women four out of 19 boards of political parties did not include any women and five had only one woman (data of 4 March 2002, Tiina Raitviir, Eesti naised poliitilise võimu juures Estonian women at political power , Ariadne Lõng, 1 2, 2002).

Based on the Gender Equality Act the Gender Equality Council will be established.
