The meeting of women-enactors from the Arab states and members of the European Parliament in November 2014 in Brussels, Belgium. The alarm is in the UN: the number of women at leading posts in the world began to decrease Women indicators of women’s participation in power not only stopped growing – the situation was even worsening. And this trend, as noted by the authors of the new report of the structure of the UN-female, indicates the availability of serious system barriers, and also indicates an insufficiently persistent commitment to the principles of gender equality in politics. ~ 60 > The report “Women – Political Leaders of 2025” notes that today women lead 27 countries – compared with 21 countries five years ago, but at the same time 103 states never had a woman at the highest guidance post. ~ 60 >~ 60 > imbalance of ministers: women occupy only 22.9 percent of the leading guidelines ministerial posts around the world. This is below the 2024 indicator (23.3 percent) and is the first fixed decrease in the share of women in governments. ~ ~ 60 > number of genderly balanced ministerial offices – in which women occupy at least 50 percent of the posts – decreased from 15 to 9 over the past year. At the same time, the number of countries where there is not a single woman in the government – from seven to nine. Although not a single region has yet reached gender parity, Europe and North America (31.4 percent), as well as Latin America and the Caribbean (30.4 percent) demonstrate the highest indicators of the share of women in governments. At the same time, Central and South Asia is significantly lagging behind-here women occupy only nine percent of ministerial posts. ~ 60 > “The world becomes a witness to the refusal of female political leadership at the time when the inclusion of decisions is especially necessary,” said Sima Bahus, the Executive Director of the UN-General region. – When women are not allowed to the highest posts, everyone loses: society loses more fair and sensitive management, which is possible only with the gender balance. ” ~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62A decrease in the representation of women occurs against the background of a global attack on the rights of women aggravated by large-scale violence against women in politics-both in offline space and on the Internet. Such an environment scares away many women from participating in politics, destroying the prospects of an equal representation. ~ 60 > gender stereotypes and established practices also significantly affect the distribution of ministerial portfolios. Men prevail in posts that determine key national and international priorities: in the field of defense (87 percent), finance and taxation (84 percent) and foreign policy (82 percent). Women, on the contrary, are most often assigned to positions related to gender equality (87 percent) and family and children (71 percent). 60 > 62 ~ an additional reason for concern was the number of ministries on gender equality – the most important structures that are responsible for the integration of the gender agenda into the state Politics. If in 2020 there were about 80 such institutions, then in 2024 it was already 76, and in 2025-74. 60 > UN-female structure calls the governments and political leadership to urgent and decisive actions, including relevant purposes, temporary special measures (including quotas), as well as the strengthening protection against political violence. ~ 60 > “full, equal and significant participation of women in decision -making is not only a matter of justice. This is a prerequisite for the implementation of the Beijing Platform of actions and achieve the goals of sustainable development, ”Bahus emphasized. – It’s time to turn promises into specific actions. ”
