Nearly half the world's population - 3.6 billion people - had major
elections in 2024, but it was also a year that saw the slowest rate of
growth in female representation for 20 years.
Twenty-seven new parliaments now have fewer women than they did before
the elections - countries such as the US, Portugal, Pakistan, India,
Indonesia and South Africa. And, for the first time in its history,
fewer women were also elected to the European Parliament.
The BBC has crunched numbers from 46 countries where election results
have been confirmed and found that in nearly two-thirds of them the
number of women elected fell.
The data is from the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) - a global
organisation of national parliaments that collects and analyses election
data.
