🚨 Una de cada tres instituciones que defienden los derechos de las mujeres ha sufrido un debilitamiento institucional desde 2024, según un nuevo informe de la ONU. Menos recursos y menos capacidad de decisión pueden traducirse en menos protección y oportunidades.

La igualdad necesita instituciones fuertes.

📅 2197.

Ese es el año en que se alcanzaría la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres si el ritmo actual no cambia, según la advertencia recogida en el informe de ONU Mujeres.

La igualdad no puede seguir siendo una promesa aplazada.

📱 Menaces, cyberharcèlement, divulgation de données personnelles, deepfakes sexualisés…
La violence numérique ne s’attaque pas seulement à la réputation des femmes et des jeunes en politique. Elle peut aussi les pousser au silence et les éloigner de la vie publique. Peut-on parler de démocratie lorsque la prise de parole devient un risque ?

Una mujer en política puede ser demasiado joven, demasiado mayor, demasiado firme o demasiado intensa. ¿Y sus propuestas? ¿Sus argumentos? ¿Sus ideas? Es hora de preguntarnos qué estamos evaluando realmente. https://t.co/y2yY2wyqiX

Women make up half the world but hold far less than half of the power.

Women hold just 27.4% of parliamentary seats globally, while six out of seven countries are led by men.

The leadership gap isn’t just about representation. Who leads shapes decisions on health, education, safety and economic opportunity. https://t.co/nq49EIy5FJ

Vingt ans après la première mesure de l'écart mondial entre les sexes, le monde frôle l'égalité, mais les progrès restent fragiles et menacés par des reculs dans certains secteurs clés.

Le Rapport mondial 2026 du Forum économique mondial, publié le 16 septembre par l'organisation de Davos (WEF) à l'occasion du vingtième anniversaire de l'indice, dresse le portrait d'un monde plus proche de l'égalité entre les sexes.
