Join Feminist leaders, thinkers and campaigners from across Scotland for this short, interactive event launching our new report, Sex and Power 2023.
Power. Influence. Authority.
Those who wield them shape our society. In most spaces where decisions are made, men are dominant, women are excluded, and sexism is perpetuated across public life. This report depicts the extent of men’s over-representation in positions of authority and influence in Scotland...
These statistics show that there are at least 472 women ‘missing’ from key positions of power in Scotland in 2023, the number needed to achieve gender parity in the areas of leadership we examined. Men’s over-representation in leadership sits at 64% overall...
We urgently need,
- not only more women in positions of power, but more Feminist leaders
- and increased diversity among those leaders
It is vital to recognise that among women there are critical differences in access to power and influence. White women who are non-disabled, cis-heterosexual, middle class and were born in the UK do not encounter the intersecting systems of discrimination and exclusion that are experienced by minoritised groups.
