Our paper on women in power is out in Politics & Gender! We know that women are rarely tapped to be heads of multilateral institutions, even as gender parity in the workplace is improving. The secret to gaining power? Choose your institutions carefully. Some appear to be "set aside" for women leaders Such a treat to coauthor with Maria V. Sokolova Nicole Bivens Collinson and Zyra Quirante, Esq. https://buff.ly/3UBCz2V

we advocate for all women to have their voices heard and respected. Women’s stories, experiences, and perspectives is essential for creating a more just and equitable society. Whether it's in matters of gender equality, women's rights, or breaking down systemic barriers, ensuring that all women are listened to and empowered is a crucial step toward progress. #africanwomenslobby https://lnkd.in/dRRw7D2P

Female representation is crucial in government as it ensures diverse perspectives, experiences, and priorities are considered in decision-making processes. By including women, and especially women of color, in positions of power, we foster a more inclusive and equitable society, where policies and laws reflect the needs of all citizens.

Gender diversity in government promotes social progress, empowers women, and inspires future generations to pursue leadership roles! #WomenInGovernment #EqualityMatters #PoliticalEquityCommittee New York Times Article: https://bit.ly/47EkcgH

It's high time we shifted the conversation from mere representation to meaningful impact. Female leaders must leverage their influence to drive policy changes that address the systemic barriers hindering gender equality. Let's focus on tangible outcomes, not just symbolic gestures. The future of gender equality depends on it. #GenderEquality #PolicyReform #WomenInLeadership #EconomicEmpowerment #UNWomen #TVCNews #WomenInPolitics #FemaleLeadership #LeadershipMatters https://lnkd.in/epQqGZgz

🗓 Last month, the Centre for Digital Governance and Deloitte, in collaboration with the women@NExT network (NExT e. V.), presented the findings of their collaborative policy brief: The Future is Parity. 📈 Considering the ambitious equality goals of the German administration – for example, the federal government has committed to achieving gender equality in leadership positions by the end of 2025 – the question arises as to how this can be achieved. This policy brief and event aimed to identify promising strategies and measures to increase the proportion of women. 🔎 Analysing the main results, the speakers proposed strategies and measures to increase the proportion of women in administrative digitisation, followed by our panelists sharing their anecdotes and discussing the ways forward. 🔗 Click the following link to dive into the full event recording 👉 https://lnkd.in/et2Jx5cA (Please note that this event was held in German.) 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel to never miss out on future event recordings! 📄 You can find the link to the policy brief here https://lnkd.in/e7_JBMWd #FutureIsParity #WomenInLeadership #Digitisation

This year at #UNGA79, only 19 women leaders spoke—out of 190 total speakers. That number is down from 21 speakers last year—and if you look globally, only 27 countries have a woman as their leader. When women don’t have a seat at the table – or a voice at big moments like these – issues primarily impacting women and girls will likely continue to be overlooked by global leaders and progress on gender equality will continue to stagnate.   I was glad to hear António Guterres emphasize this disparity in speakers at UNGA. I agree with him wholeheartedly when he says, “This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, sustainable development, climate action and much more.”   While there were so many productive conversations at UNGA around global gender equality, creating a future where everyone thrives starts with making sure that women are represented in conversations at all levels of decision-making, and a central part of determining the solutions.

While the number of women in senior leadership roles is rising globally—it’s concerningly slow, according to the Grant Thornton LLP (Canada) 2024 Women in Business report. Just 35% of senior roles in mid-market businesses in Canada are held by women. In anticipation of International Women’s Day, the 2024 Women in Business Report explores how businesses can pave pathways to gender parity.
