Why are so few women in positions of power?
<|assistant|>
Women have faced significant historic and structural barriers to obtaining positions of power in all areas, including politics, business, leadership, education, and more. This is due to deeply entrenched sexism and gender inequality in many societies. Despite progress in some areas in recent decades, women still face discrimination and barriers in many areas of life, resulting in fewer women being represented in positions of power.  These barriers have largely been created by gender norms, societal expectations, and a lack of legislation protecting women and guaranteeing equality.  In order to promote true equity, we need to work together to recognize and dismantle the structural, social, and cultural barriers that prevent women from obtaining positions of power.
