"According to the World Bank, less than 20 countries in the world treat women and men equally...Who can change that? Politicians and legislators have the opportunity to change that" - Silvana Koch-Mehrin #GenerationEquality #ActForEqual

"That is why our first commitment as WPL is mobilising women political leaders and decision makers in up to 50 countries to drive tangible legislative change." - Silvana Koch-Mehrin #GenerationEquality #ActForEqual

"There are way too few women in politics. The network of WPL can develop mechanisms to promote women as leaders in political spaces and to help create the pathways for them to become political power players." - Silvana Koch-Mehrin #GenerationEquality #ActForEqual

“The second commitment is transforming perceptions of leadership...We will use this the Reykjavík Index for Leadership which will be extended to many more countries and will be based on data and knowledge.” - Silvana Koch-Mehrin #GenerationEquality #ActForEqual

This week we follow the #LeadershipJourney of Jacinda Ardern. In high school, Jacinda interviewed former PM Marilyn Waring. Inspired by the PM’s helpfulness, young Jacinda was determined to explore the world of politics and started to work for New Zealand’s Labor Party in 1999.

After graduating from the University of Waikato in 2001, Jacinda Ardern worked as a researcher in the office of New Zealand PM Helen Clark. This was the start of her tremendous political career. #Girl2Leader #LeadershipJourney⁣

📌Jacinda Ardern was elected the Labour Party’s leader in 2017. She is the youngest woman to become PM in New Zealand. Her determination and results in the battle against #COVID19 are globally recognised. Jacinda is an icon for women in leadership. #Girl2Leader
