How democratic is a country if women aren’t equally represented? On #InternationalDayOfDemocracy, we highlight that women's rights are a key measure of a functioning democracy. When women can vote, run for office, and live free from oppression, democracy thrives. Let's push for a future where women’s rights are not a question, but a guarantee. #girlimpact #globaljustice #tonigarrnfoundation

We are thrilled to see the progress in the UK’s recent general election. Women now constitute 41% of Parliament, and there is also the first female Chancellor. It’s a reminder that our voices matter and can bring about real change. Every time we take on decision-making roles, we aren’t just shaping policy; we’re also inspiring the next generation of girls to dream big. Our unique perspectives are essential for a flourishing society. #gewenetwork #womenempowerment #genderequality #femaleleadership #womenleadership #womenatthetable #WomenSupportingWomen #womenleadership

We've made strides towards political equality, with women now voting and leading in many countries, a huge leap from a century ago. Yet, the journey to full equality is far from over. Some nations still restrict voting rights, and women remain underrepresented in leadership roles and legislatures. True equality means more than just political participation; it encompasses civil liberties and genuine political power for women. Let's keep pushing for change and build systems where women have equal political rights.

Why Her? More women in politics is good. We can prove it. In a volatile world, stability is truly desirable. States where women hold more political power are less likely to go to war, & less likely to commit human rights abuses. Diversity creates better outcomes. #SheVotes24

As we approach the June 2024 European elections, it is vital to highlight the critical significance of women's representation. Robust decision-making thrives on diverse perspectives, emphasizing the need for a balanced and inclusive political arena. Let's advocate for equality, empower women leaders, and cultivate a Europe that authentically mirrors the diversity of its population. In the realm of women's participation in the political arena, the path is demanding, but each advancement is a crucial step towards equality. In today's impactful debate, MEPs Saskia Bricmont, Alicia Homs Ginel, and Maria Walsh provided insightful contributions. #WomenInPolitics #EuropeanElections #InclusiveLeadership

We are agreed, as a global community, that women should be more actively involved in agenda-setting and decision-making in politics. But the road from poor representation to truly inclusive politics does not seem to exist beyond words. The question is: How do we change this? How do we prevail upon political parties to go beyond rhetoric to actually nominate and support more women candidates this year? #womeninpolitics #womensparticipation #IWD24

Day 4: Women Voter- Challenges and Future Directions Today, we continue our Women Suffrage Awareness Program with a focus on the critical challenges women voters face and the paths forward.  Women have fought tirelessly for their right to vote, yet barriers still exist, be it access or representation. Let’s amplify our voices and pave the way for a more inclusive democracy! Your participation is crucial. Together, we can advocate for change and ensure that every woman’s vote counts. #WomenVote #SuffrageAwareness #EmpowerWomen #ctte
