Thought PM Kishida might use this ‘scsndal’ to show true leadership by replacing some of the outgoing ministers etc with a few women and create a more diverse Cabinet but I should know better. Sigh. Harrumph. Grrr. #manel #diversity #womenleaders #Japan 🇯🇵

#Exitpolls show that men and women are voting differently in the state #elections. How significant are the numbers? @garima_sadhwani reports. https://t.co/ylK5VZSAt4

"If parties really cared about women’s issues, they could send strong signals with how they treat women in their own organisations"

Today I addressed the parliamentary session at @ReykjavikGlobal Forum🇮🇸, convened by @WPLeadersOrg.

Women's representation in parliament should not be token.
It must be substantive and quality.
Gender sensitive #parliaments help that.
