Context

The IPU-UN Women 'Women in Politics' map presents global rankings of women in executive and government positions as of 1 January 2021, produced by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), which has tracked women parliamentarians for decades on the premise that strong democracies are linked to gender equality.

Objectives

To increase the number of women in parliament through well-designed quotas and parliamentary caucuses, support women already in parliament, and transform parliaments into gender-sensitive institutions.

Activities

Global data collection and publication of rankings covering women heads of state and government, women Speakers of parliament, and women MPs and ministers.

Results

The map shows all-time highs across these categories as of the January 2021 snapshot, though no specific percentages are given in the text.
