We need more women in Parliaments and as political leaders because women make up half of the world’s population, yet despite recent progress, remain under-represented in Parliaments across the world. Increasing women’s political participation helps give a voice to marginalised sections of society, creates female role models and ensures that women are equal partners in shaping the future of their country. Having more women represented in Parliament and more women in key leadership positions therefore remains both a moral imperative and an essential basis for democracy
