Female Heads of State and Government in (Small) Numbers

According to a Pew Research Center analysis (as of March 2023), women serve as head of government in 13 of the 193 member states of the United Nations. In nine of these 13 countries, the current leader is the first female head of state or government, seven of the 13 countries are in Europe. Fewer than a third of UN countries have ever had a woman leader (via).

      Yes, the numbers are shocking and they looked even worse a few years ago. Many thanks for commenting, Karen!
