“The second commitment is transforming perceptions of leadership...We will use this the Reykjavík Index for Leadership which will be extended to many more countries and will be based on data and knowledge.” - @skochmehrin #GenerationEquality #ActForEqual

"There are way too few women in politics. The network of WPL can develop mechanisms to promote women as leaders in political spaces and to help create the pathways for them to become political power players." - @skochmehrin #GenerationEquality #ActForEqual

"That is why our first commitment as WPL is mobilising women political leaders and decision makers in up to 50 countries to drive tangible legislative change." - @skochmehrin #GenerationEquality #ActForEqual

"According to the @WorldBank, less than 20 countries in the world treat women and men equally...Who can change that? Politicians and legislators have the opportunity to change that" - @skochmehrin #GenerationEquality #ActForEqual
