Behind every statistic, there is a story to tell.
An initiative of the Women in Public Service Project, She is One is sharing the stories of the women behind the numbers.
Each woman leader has a unique experience to share, and together, these individuals drive the global movement toward gender parity. By highlighting the paths they have forged, we hope to inspire emerging leaders to join them and bring us closer to the 50x50 goal of 50% representation by 2050. Join the conversation using #SheIsOne.
Learn more about the numbers driving global gender parity with our Global Women's Leadership Initiative Index.
