Where were just 30 women who were elected heads of state or government as of September last year. Now, after the shock resignations of two world leaders, that number is dwindling further.
But the decision to step back from power plays out against a background of intense hostility and scrutiny, particularly for women leaders. Sturgeon, Scotland’s longest serving first minister, said last year she was worried sexism could be putting women off political life, and that in some ways the issue has got worse since her career started decades earlier.
Women’s participation in politics across the world is still lagging. As of September 2022, only 21 percent of government ministers were women, and gender parity won’t be reached for about half a century at the current rate of progress. Once in office, research suggests they have to contend with a greater amount of hostility than their male counterparts. Women elected officials are three times as likely to be targeted by abuse and harassment than their counterparts, according to a US study.
