“There’s no #gender-neutral #pandemic, and this one is no different!”

Read this interview @phumzileunwomen on the specific gender dimension of #Coronavirus and how this has highlighted once more the need to have more women in power!
nytimes.com/2020/08/09/us/…

While #women represent 1/2 of humanity, their under-representation in political offices is appalling. This is not only wrong, but also stupid: female leadership correlates with more inclusive governance & better economic outcomes.

From crossing party lines, being more responsive to public needs, increasing stability, challenging the status quo, and inspiring more #women to run for office, #GenderParity benefits societies and enables progress.

That's why at @NOW4humanity we have the #RunLikeAWoman campaign to reach #gender #parity in politics!

Women should run 1/2 of the world, and not only in @beyonce's song! 🎶
