More women’s
representation
will result in more
diverse decisions that
incorporate women’s
experiences. I don’t
think having women
in positions of power
means that the world
is going to be perfect
or that conflict
will be eradicated. It
just means that the
concerns of half of the
world’s population will
finally be center stage.‘W OMEN IN
SENIOR
ROLES.’
Alex Morgan is an Olympic gold medalist in
soccer, a repeat Player of the Year for the U.S. league,
a World Cup champion in 2015 and 2019, and an
advocate for equal pay in men’s and women’s sports.
“The single most important change is getting
more women in senior roles and putting women
in positions of power, where they can implement
policies that lead to long-lasting change. That
means a woman being paid a dollar to every dollar
that a man makes. And that means having fair
maternity and paternity benefits for people who
want to have families: That’s a necessity.”We need to elevate
female voices and
stories, in journalism,
film, photography, and
more. For too long
we’ve been seeing the
world primarily through
men’s eyes.NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
