In our latest In-Depth article, Minna Cowper-Coles (@minnacc) explains why women’s political leadership is more, not less, important today, especially at a time when democratic values are under threat around the world. worldpoliticsreview.com/fema…

It’s Not Democracy Without Women in Positions of Power

With the world continuing to face numerous crises, women’s political leadership is more, not less, important.

📣 "At the end of the day, we’re talking about much more than individual companies paying women less... It’s a systemic societal issue that requires systemwide answers.” Our Research Fellow @minnacc featured in Bloomberg! 🎉 bloomberg.com/news/articles/… bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Closing the Gender Pay Gap Requires Teeth, Not Just Transparency

Forcing companies to publicize data on salaries is just the first step.

It’s #EqualPayDay, the day in the year when women effectively stop being paid compared to men, due to the gender pay gap. This year we’ve calculated that women take home, on average, £564 less than men each month. What would you do with this missing money? fawcettsociety.org.uk/equal-…

Equal Pay Day 2022: Women's Missing Money

For Equal Pay Day 2022, Fawcett releases new data showing the double impact of the cost of living crisis and the gender pay gap on women.

New Zealand's legislative body now counts 60 women and 59 men as new lawmaker is sworn in, making it one of a handful of countries led by women.🗳️ wapo.st/3TsJAyU @sorayapm @jacindaardern @minnacc @DrSarahLiu @Adela_Suliman @YoonJulie #genderequality

New Zealand’s Parliament becomes majority female — ‘about blimmin’ time’

For the first time, New Zealand now has more female politicians than male after swearing in lawmaker Soraya Peke-Mason. Elsewhere, progress remains mixed.

Replying to @HelenPankhurst
@HelenPankhurst kicks off our gender equal parliament event. "The spirit of this event is the spirit of @CentenaryAction . We must get to 5050 by 2028. We can only do if we address the issues in each party. We need civil society to call for change too"

The average gender pay gap in New Zealand is 9 percent, but the difference in pay for a Pasifika woman and a Pākehā man is 25 percent. rnz.co.nz/news/business/4698…

New Zealand behind world on gender pay gap reporting - survey

Gender pay gaps have flourished in a culture of continued secrecy around salaries, and a global survey shows more work is needed to shine a light on discrimination in the workplace.

Great research from @jennpiscopo. Excluding women from decisions makes U.S. citizens (men and women) distrust their government. xitter.cf/jennpiscopo/status/849…

Everyone hates #manels, incl men & GOP. My research w/ @abclayton24 & Diana O'Brien. @womenalsoknow @Occidental washingtonpost.com/news/monk…

Men don't like it even more than women.
