Gender equality by 2030? Not even close. We’re looking at the 22nd century before we get there. Why? A critical lack of investment in women’s political power. The alarming reality:
FEMINIST GRASSROOTS MOVEMENTS GET LESS THAN 1% OF GLOBAL AID
WOMEN IN POWER? BARELY…
14% OF HEADS OF STATE
27% OF PARLIAMENT STATES
23% OF MINISTERIAL POSITIONS
These alarming numbers paint a clear picture of the global crisis we face. In our recent webinar From Margins to Majorities: Women’s Rise to Political Power we tackled this issue head on.
