A lack of women at decision-making tables around the world is hindering progress when it comes to tackling conflicts or improving health and standard of living, the highest-ranking woman in the UN (United Nations) has said.
“We’re half the population. And what we bring to the table is incredibly important and it’s missing”, said Amina Mohammed, the UN deputy secretary general. “I think it’s why mostly our human development indices are so bad, why we have so many conflicts and we’re unable to come out of the conflicts.”
Since her appointment in 2017, Mohammed has been a constant voice in pushing back against the under-representation of women in politics, diplomacy and even the UN general assembly. Her efforts have helped cast a spotlight on the fact that women remain relegated to the margins of power around the world; last year the global proportion of female lawmakers stood at 26.9%, according to Switzerland’s Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Speaking to The Guardian, Mohammed said “flexing muscle and testosterone” often dominated at tables of power around the world. “This win, win, win at all costs — I think that would change if women were at the table”, she said.
She acknowledged that the world had seen a handful of female leaders who had not used their position to advocate for greater peace or conflict resolution. “Fair point, we see women in power and they’re sometimes the image of men”, she said. But she described it as unfair to judge women on an individual basis while they were still within the confines of a system dominated by men. “We don’t judge men that way.”
Mohammed highlighted how many parts of society still view women in power as “about taking away, rather than adding” value. “And we have to change that mentality”, she said.
“We kept looking at the Band-aid: put the women in office, let’s have affirmative action. And we never connected the dots for women themselves to build the constituencies and to goout and vote”, she said. “So we have to have a conversation with women first. Because if we’re doing this for women, should it not be by women?”

2024 USHERED IN TWO FIRSTS FOR MILITARY WOMEN. WE’RE ALL CELEBRATING.
American women kicked off 2024 with two milestones that flipped the script on the way society keeps
judging, classifying and relating to us. The first happened in Annapolis, Maryland, where Vice Admiral
Yvette Davids − a mother of twin boys with an Audrey Hepburn vibe − became the first woman to
lead the 178-year-old U.S. Naval Academy. Then, Air Force 2nd Lieutenant Madison Marsh became the
5 newest Miss America, the first-active duty military officer to win the pageant. Beauty can have brains and
brawn; brains and brawn can be beautiful. Take that, society.
Marsh’s crown matters more when it comes to her job in the Air Force. She busts the myth that women
who do the jobs that used to be held only by men have to look and act like them. This is important at
the Naval Academy, where some graduates watched Davids show compassion, a vivacious personality
10 and maternal pride as her kids cheered her on in a room full of military brass. “It was surreal,” said
Sharon Hanley Disher, 65, one of the first women to graduate from the academy in 1980. She was at the
ceremony promoting Davids, who called out the class of pioneers twice during her speech in Annapolis.
She couldn’t stop thinking about her first evening at the academy, back in 1976. “Miss Hanley, I don’t like
women in my school,” an upperclassman told her, she recalled, pointing his finger in her face. “I don’t
15 want women in my school. It will be my mission to make sure you’re long gone before I graduate.” She
graduated, and Davids, who graduated in 1989, thanked her and others for helping pave the way.
“A ship in port is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for,” said Davids in her welcome address, quoting
the words of Admiral Grace Hopper. She will face doubt and challenges to her leadership. But besides
proving that she can lead, she will be confronted with the opportunity to address women’s experience as
20 minorities in a school where they are just 28 percent of the student population.
Elizabeth Rowe, who was also in the class of 1980 with Hanley Disher, was celebrated as a pioneer in her
small, Maryland farm town. When she went off to the academy, she was stunned by the hatred she faced
when she got there. “While I knew it was first class and it was all male, I didn’t have any perspective. The
reaction we got − a sort of resentment, hatred, otherness, all of that − was unexpected. I spent four years
25 just trying to get through it. The hazing and harassment − dead rats being left in mailboxes, the constant
put-downs − were largely unaddressed by leaders,” she said.
Sadly, current students still face some of what she endured. Hanley Disher, who married a fellow graduate
and again made history when all three of their children graduated from the academy, said she was thrilled
to see her daughter have more congressionally mandated opportunities available to her. But she was
30 heartbroken when she heard that some of the old school misogyny was still there. “This one guy told my
daughter a joke,” she recounted. He said: “What did the ugliest girl in the world say to the second ugliest
girl in the world? What company are you in?”
Some of the women from the class of 1980 have never returned to the academy to celebrate milestones,
as their colleagues took command in the Navy and rose in the ranks at the academy. They told Hanley
35 Disher − when she reached out to them for reunions or events − that they can’t. But people change, places
change. During their 35th reunion, one of the men who was a primo harasser of women apologized to
her. He told her that he has been living with guilt over the things he said and did, and wanted to apologize
to all of them. So, Disher took him by the arm and said “Let’s go”. She accompanied him on his apology
tour, and then they cried about it at the bar.
