We can't wait that long.
Women are underrepresented at all levels of decision-making worldwide, and achieving gender parity in political life is far off.
We need to step it up for an equal future.

Over 2.5 billion women and girls around the world are affected by discriminatory laws and the lack of legal protections.
Strong legal frameworks must be put in place to advance gender equality in all areas,
Women's rights are human rights. unwo.men/VIX550Gg2MT

All women and girls have the right to learn how to read and write, but they continue to be left behind when it comes to education.
