The New Gender Gap

We've all felt positive about the progress women made in the last election-we've added women Senators, Representatives and State Legislators, a new female Speaker of the House, and new female committee chairs.

But before we rest on our laurels, take note of this: a new report released last week by the World Economic Forum defines a new framework for measuring gender equality around the world. It turns out that the US needs a lot more change – and you can help.

The study ranked the US and 114 other countries. How do you think we fared?

Here’s a hint: the US is not in the top ten. Or even the top 20.

The United States ranks 22nd out of 115 countries. The winners? Sweden. Norway. Finland. Iceland. Germany. United Kingdom. We’re behind them. And Latvia. Lithuania. New Zealand.

The report utilized 4 measurement standards: economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment. We came in first for Health and Survival, and third for Economic Opportunity. But, we received our lowest score for Political Empowerment, coming in 66th.

The United States is considered the greatest and oldest democracy in the world. We should set a shining example for countries around the globe. Instead, we’re trying to move forward using half of our resources.

Now is the time that we need equal representation in every sphere—economic, political, and cultural. Now is a time when we can’t afford to think with half a mind, to speak with half a voice, to act with half a heart.

The White House Project staff, board, and volunteers are working overtime to bring a diverse corps of women into the leadership pipeline in all sectors. But we can’t do it alone.
Please support the work of a movement you believe in with a year end gift today.

Sincerely,
The White House Project
