I saw this article a day late but it is very much worth reading because women’s rights took a step backward throughout the world this year. The link above is a gift link, so you can read the entire article, even if you don’t subscribe to The Washington Post. Below are a few discouraging setbacks for women reported in this article:
Women protest in Iran
Tumblr media
In September, a young Kurdish woman was detained in Tehran after allegedly breaching the country’s strict dress code. Days later, the 22-year-old died in custody — allegedly after being beaten by police.
Mahsa Amini’s death unleashed a wave of protests under the slogan “Women, life, freedom,” which came to express decades of discontent not only with the country’s veiling laws but with the ruling system itself. Not for the first time in Iran’s history, women have taken an active role in the protests.
But the protesters have paid a high price: According to the activist news agency HRANA, at least 530 people had been killed and more than 19,000 arrested through Feb. 21. Although the demonstrations have continued for months, they have so far not brought any concrete changes, while the government has intensified its crackdown against protesters. [...]
The Taliban cracks down on women’s rights
Tumblr media
....When the Taliban gained control of Afghanistan, its leaders — keen to gain international recognition — promised to respect women’s rights.
However, by late March 2022, the Taliban’s promises to allow girls to return to secondary school had failed to materialize. Then, in May, the Taliban ordered that Muslim women be covered head-to-toe in public.
In recent months, restrictions on the role of women in public life have tightened still further, with women banned from attending all universities and then prevented from working for international organizations. [...]
U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade
Tumblr media
More than a dozen states have banned most abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June — either by prohibiting them completely, with limited exceptions, or after six weeks of pregnancy. Courts have blocked bans in several other states while legal challenges proceed.
Since the Supreme Court ruling, there have been stories of the impact on girls and women across the country: from a 10-year-old Ohio rape victim who had to travel to another state to get an abortion, to the Indianapolis doctor who helped her and came under investigation by the state’s attorney general, to other people whose doctors have refused abortions even when they were legal.
The United Nations’ human rights chief has described the ruling as a “major setback” and “a huge blow to women’s human rights and gender equality.”
Rights groups are also awaiting a decision in a federal court in Texas on Americans’ access to the federally approved abortion drug mifepristone. The decision could have sweeping implications for abortion access across the country, including in Democratic-led states where abortion rights are protected.
Prominent female leaders step down
Women remain underrepresented in government — as of January, just 31 countries have a woman serving as a head of state or government, according to U.N. Women, which said the data showed that women “are underrepresented at all levels of decision-making worldwide and that achieving gender parity in political life is far off.”
The recent resignations of two high-profile female leaders in particular have sparked discussion about the sexism and personal attacks female leaders often face.
[See more under the cut.]
In January, New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern... announced she was stepping down after five years as prime minister. “I know what this job takes,” Ardern said. “And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice.”
Ardern had faced sexism during her tenure, including prejudiced remarks from reporters, online commentators and fellow politicians. [...]
“The pressures on prime ministers are always great, but in this era of social media, clickbait, and 24/7 media cycles, Jacinda has faced a level of hatred and vitriol which in my experience is unprecedented in our country,” former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark said in a statement.
Tumblr media
Similar themes emerged the following month when Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced her resignation after more than eight years in the role. She said she felt she could no longer give the job “absolutely everything,” which is the “only way to do it,” but also spoke of the impact of the political atmosphere, “dare I say brutality,” on her and those around her.
Both leaders were under pressure on domestic issues — and commentators pointed out that the timing of their resignations was also probably influenced by political considerations. However, neither was facing a major scandal, either. Instead, both spoke of their wish to return to a more normal life — and their resignations marked the stepping away of two prominent female leaders from the world stage, at a time when female leaders are still very much in the minority.

Everyone post a semi-believable conspiracy theory. I wanna see if we can get one trending.
I’ll start with;
Nicola Sturgeon and Jacinda Ardern (ex-ministers of Scotland and NZ respectively) are secret lovers.

"there was no mistaking the meaning from Jacinda Ardern, the New Zealand prime minister, when her office issued a statement saying her involvement in a new Netflix series on “effective leadership” was nothing to do with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex."

MBTI & Politicians
Jacinda Ardern: ENFJ
"Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern (born 26 July 1980) is a New Zealand politician who served as the 40th prime minister of New Zealand and leader of the Labour Party from 2017 to 2023. (…)
She became the world's youngest female head of government at age 37. Ardern gave birth to her daughter on 21 June 2018, making her the world's second elected head of government to give birth while in office (after Benazir Bhutto).
Ardern describes herself as a social democrat and a progressive.”

So, the Prime Minister of New Zealand is resigning, apparently because she's burned out and needs a break, but I expect a scandal to come to light any second now. There's gonna be a Labour Party leadership election next month, which undoubtedly means they're gonna elect some unpopular bumbling stooge who will make a fool of themselves and pave the way for the nazis to sweep the general election in October. That is the cycle of liberal democracy in the 21st century; one step forward, two goose steps back.
I hope I'm wrong, but I have no faith in any governments at any level anywhere anymore.

How many men have there ever been who resigned because they didn't feel they still had it in them to perform their duties? Very few, I would imagine. Understandable for her on a personal level, but such a shame 😞
This is about Jacinda's resignation and after reading the opinion of several kiwis, for them, it seems not to be a shame, quite the contrary, anon. It is amazing how the perception of a politician within the country is different from the rest of the world. Something similar happened with a former president of my country, so I am not surprised. Apparently many in New Zealand believe that she resigned because she knew she would lose the next election and this was the way she found to avoid humiliation.
