The right to participate in political and public life is important in empowering individuals and groups, and is essential to eliminate marginalization and discrimination. Participation rights are inseparably linked to other human rights such as the rights to peaceful assembly and association, freedom of opinion and expression and the rights to education and to information. Many obstacles to equal political and public participation exist. These barriers may include direct and indirect discrimination on grounds such as race, colour, descent, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, birth, disability, nationality or other status. Even when there is no formal discrimination in connection with political or public participation, inequalities in access to other human rights may impede the effective exercise of political participation rights. OHCHR’s work on equal participationThe Human Rights Council has dedicated increasing attention to the issue of equal participation in political and public affairs. In 2018, after five regional consultations, OHCHR released new guidelines on participation. The guidelines outline the basic principles of the right to participate in public affairs and include practical recommendations that cover participation in electoral and non-electoral contexts, nationally and internationally. Key documentsParticipation Guidelines These guidelines are designed to assist States and all relevant actors in conducting their respective activities relating to participation.

The resources considered are time, money, and civic skills--those communications and organizational capacities that are essential to political activity. These skills are not only acquired early in life but developed in the nonpolitical institutional settings of adult life: the workplace, organizations, and churches and synagogues. These resources are distributed differentially among groups defined by socioeconomic status. A two-stage least squares analysis shows these resources have powerful effects on overall political activity, thus explaining why socioeconomic status has traditionally been so powerful in predicting participation. We disaggregate overall activity into three kinds of acts: those that involve giving time, those that entail donating money, and voting. Each requires a different configuration of resources resulting in different patterns of stratification across various political acts.
