Black letters on a pink background: "WOMEN - are 51% of the population - but 70% of the poor - and 83% of single parents - doing 66% of the work - producing 50% of the food - but earn just 11% of the pay - and own only 1% of the land - In case you wondered why we still need feminism!"

@grrlscientist A great start is to change the balance of elected officials. Otherwise, you haven’t got women around the table making decisions.

Remember this next time you vote.

Vote the same - get the same, and nothing changes.

@t3rcermillenium @grrlscientist voting for women isn't enough when men can filter the women that can be voted for. Austria's previous women's affairs minister was a woman who basically said that it was great that we had feminism, but that it has since reached its goal and that we can do away with it now.

@punissuer @grrlscientist That’s a fairs point.

In Ireland, we have the “Electoral (Amendment) (Political Funding) Act 2012”

This law introduced gender quotas requiring political parties to ensure that at least 40% of their candidates in general elections are women, and at least 40% are men (both were 30%but changed for the 2020 election).

Political parties that fail to meet these quotas face financial penalties of a 50% reduction in their state funding.

It’s a start.
