The Women In Parliaments Global Forum (WIP) is running the WIP Leadership Campaign, for which more than fifty male Presidents and Prime Ministers champion the cause of a more diverse leadership of the world by giving a personal testimonial and completing the sentence: “We need more women in Parliaments and as political leaders because…”. This is a timely call as there is clear evidence showing that greater diversity and equality create stronger leadership and better governance. Currently, almost 80% of Parliamentarians are male, there are still 37 States in which men account for more than 90% of Parliamentarians, and only 17 women are serving in elected heads of state or government roles.
