Do women politicians govern differently? Evidence indicates yes. Women Political Leaders’ upcoming report ‘Representation Matters’ shows that in countries with higher women’s political representation, more inclusive and non-discriminatory legislation is passed, furthering women’s economic and legal opportunities. There’s also evidence that more women’s representation in parliaments means the adoption of more stringent climate change policies and lower emissions. And there’s hope to build on: From Albania to Nicaragua, we’re seeing improvements in women’s political representation.
Many of us know and are driving forces behind these positive political shifts. How can we keep the momentum going and collectively take these stories and evidence to the world? Join Apolitical Foundation, Women Political Leaders and fellow high-level leaders from politics, philanthropy and political entrepreneurship to:
– Hear the evidence on how more women’s political leadership can provide solutions for climate and financing; and
– Be inspired as we exchange ideas for actions we can all take to build the movement and spread the word about why women’s representation matters.
