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/female-world-l…

Just looked up ‘Iceland Prime Minister’ … perfect example of AI / algorithm sexism. @CCriadoPerez @GIWLkings @Microsoft #invisiblewomen

📣 "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/…

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the discussion on the findings of the Women's Political Career Study: womenpoliticalleaders.org/studies @Michel1eH @SarahLudford @PippaCrerar @minnacc @HannaBirnaWPL @HarrietHarman @carolinenokes @carolynharris24 @JuliaGillard @ninotsilosani19

Across the country, women earn an average of 11% less than men, but that rises to 17% in #London. Fawcett CEO @JemimaOlchawski shares some shocking #EqualPayDay statistics on @BBCLondonNews.

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-pay-day-…

@highaltweather @equileap @sorayapm @jacindaardern @DrSarahLiu @Adela_Suliman @YoonJulie While I acknowledge you’re being facetious, I think there is a lot of important work being done around the over criminalisation of young men.

@equileap @sorayapm @jacindaardern @minnacc @DrSarahLiu @Adela_Suliman @YoonJulie Is anyone attempting to make prisons more gender-representative?

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

@Confusezeus Saudi is suddenly very concerned about women’s rights to wear what they want. 🤨

Map reveals the global division - shamefully Lebanon voted on the wrong side.

Thank you @CentenaryAction @Baronessjenkin @BBCcarolynquinn @carla_denyer @mrs_creynolds for an energizing morning discussing the need to increase numbers of women in politics.

Hugely energising meeting - 💯focused on reaching our target of a gender diverse parliament by 2028. Thanks to our great panel - @Baronessjenkin @mrs_creynolds @carla_denyer and chair @BBCcarolynquinn and to all the attendees who showed support and made great interventions.

@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"

@dermot_hodson @YaleBooks @BirkbeckUoL @bbkpolitics @SSHPBirkbeck @dermot_hodson congratulations!

With just under a year to go before the EU marks its 30th anniversary, I'm delighted to have delivered my new book to @yalebooks: Circle of Stars: A History of the European Union. It tells the story of how the EU endured in the three turbulent decades since Maastricht.

Great to be in parliament today with @minnacc to discuss @fawcettsociety @GIWLkings audit for the @AppgWiP on progress towards a gender inclusive parliament by 2028. Huge thanks to @MariaMillerUK @ApsanaBegumMP @MaryRobinson01 for such helpful insights, support and challenge.

Exam question: What royally f**ked up healthcare in the UK? Answer: Covid? Marker: ❌ It's the Brexit, stupid

Thank you @carolineleicht for talking to us about gender and political satire

Fantastic conversation between @JuliaGillard and @wmarybeard tonight reflecting on misogyny, imposter syndrome and how to cope with trolls online or tony abbott in an airport lounge @GIWLkings

Majority female parliament in New Zealand ❤️ washingtonpost.com/world/2022/10/…

@Abi_Rimmer Hi Abi, I had chemo with a 2 month old. I would say there was 4 days in every session where I would have been a serious liability in looking after the baby - too tired, sick - but fine most of the rest of the time. @MummysStar / @bubbleChildcare for an adhoc nanny?

Found out on Friday that I'll need about 3 months of chemo 😕 I know for the long term it's a good thing but what I worry about most is how it will effect my ability to look after and enjoy the baby. #bowelcancerawareness
