WHERE ARE THE WOMEN in all these negotiations to form 🇲🇾 new govt?

If you’re wondering why it’s taking SO LONG for MALE ONLY politicians to reach an agreement ⬇️

FYI- global research PROVES that compared to men- women tend towards cooperation, empathy & ethics.

These traits make women highly effective problem solvers. Exactly what such political negotiations need.

SO- WHERE ARE THE WOMEN POLITICIANS?

Plus, these traits are also linked with an increase in long-term value of the negotiations women do participate in!

According to research by Laura Kray at University of California, Berkeley & Jessica Kennedy at Vanderbilt University, women excel at generating goodwill thru problem solving ⬇️

PIVOTAL not just for workplace- imagine impact during political negotiations!

The researchers found that “women possess unique advantages as negotiators, including greater cooperativeness and stronger ethics. But often those strengths are overlooked or severely undervalued.”

CLEARLY- NO 🇲🇾POLITICAL PARTY VALUES PROVEN NEGOTIATION TRAITS OF FEMALE REPS!

TBH no surprise if these MALE ONLY political negotiations stretch past 2pm TOMORROW, NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT’S MISSING!

Also- DO NOT FORGET THAT EVERY POLITICAL NEGOTIATION EXCLUDING WOMEN & MINORITIES (OKU, RACIAL/ETHNIC, RELIGIOUS & YOUTH) are NOT INCLUSIVE!
