Our Logo
Our logo represents the inequality between the percentage of women in the world's population and their corresponding representation in governments worldwide. The right side is 51% blue, indicating the percentage of women in the world's population. The global average for women in government, however, is a mere 16% , illustrated by the percentage of blue on the left. Our goal is to one day eliminate this gap by enabling women to take their rightful places in government bodies worldwide. Only then will we have true representative democracy, and only then will women be able to fully exercise their human rights.
