Global push for women in power gaining momentum, but obstacles remain
Regional and international organizations are working to increase women's participation in political decision-making. Efforts have been made to incorporate gender into policies, with the United Nations setting targets for women's leadership. Despite progress, cultural barriers still hinder women's political rights globally. Latin America has seen success with gender quotas increasing women's representation, while Africa's progress has been uneven. Capacity-building programs are recommended for women interested in politics, along with the use of metrics to track progress and assess the status of women in regional governance.
