☆ Iceland’s New President Is a Feminist, and a Friend of Björk

Seven-year-old Halla Tómasdóttir was confused on her mother’s birthday in 1975. Her mother and aunts weren’t in the kitchen as usual, instead directing their husbands and brothers to do the work. That was because women were taking the day off to demonstrate their value to society amid Iceland’s first national women’s strike. More than four decades later, Ms. Tómasdóttir is the country’s new president, nurtured by the message she absorbed on that day. “They told me they wanted to show the world that they matter,” Ms. Tómasdóttir said this week.

☆ Global gender gap could take 134 years to close — but 2024 elections offer hope, WEF says
  + stars: | 2024-06-11 | by ( Karen Gilchrist | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The 2024 bumper election year presents a unique opportunity to make progress in closing the global gender gap, according to the World Economic Forum. It is now estimated to take 134 years — or five generations — to close the global gender gap, up from 131 years in 2023, WEF said. This year's sweeping election cycle could narrow that gap, however, by boosting women's representation in the political sphere, the non-governmental organization said. WEF's Global Gender Gap Report, now in its 18th year, is an annual index designed to measure gender equality. "With over 60 national elections in 2024 and the largest global population in history set to vote, women's political representation and the overall gender gap could be set to improve," the report said.
