🌟 Celebrating Women's History Month 🌟 TWO-N, INC In honor of women’s history month we dug into the Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women list, https://lnkd.in/eWzhWFUd. For over two decades, this prestigious list has shone a spotlight on extraordinary women shaping the world. Since its inception in 2004, the Forbes list has consistently showcased groundbreaking women, with over 50% representing trailblazers in business and politics.  Among the top 10 most enduring female figures in politics are luminaries such as Christine Lagarde, Queen Elizabeth II, Nancy Pelosi, and Angela Merkel to name a few. But, there’s an alarming twist: Historically, women in politics have consistently ranked higher than those in business but recent years have seen a seismic shift, women in business are surpassing those in politics on the list. This prompts us to ask: Does the change in the Forbes list reflect broader global shifts in the perception of women in politics today? Consider these staggering statistics: Based on the 2023 data, only 25.5% of parliamentary seats worldwide are held by women according to UN Women. Additionally, women make up only 7.7% of heads of state and 5.2% of heads of government globally, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Despite progress, the journey towards gender parity remains sluggish, with projections by the IPU suggesting we won't achieve equality until 2063. It’s imperative that we empower the next generation of leaders to ensure we don’t miss out on the transformative impact they could bring in decades to come.#WomenLeaders #GenderParity #Empowerment Project contributors: Jasmine Guy Hermann Zschiegner
