Our region\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/reports.weforum.org\/global-gender-gap-report-2016\/latin-america-and-the-caribbean\/\">gender gap is a disheartening 30%<\/a>; Guatemala and Paraguay are among the world\u2019s least gender-equal places.<\/p>\n<p>I have been surprised, however, to hear that women in northern Europe \u2013 the <a href=\"http:\/\/reports.weforum.org\/global-gender-gap-report-2016\/western-europe\/\">most gender-equal region in the world<\/a> \u2013 report the same grievances. While researching my <a href=\"http:\/\/editorial.grupo5.net\/escaparate-libros\/quien-teme-el-poder-de-las-mujeres.html\">latest book<\/a> on women in power, I interviewed 18 female politicians in Sweden and The Netherlands, certain that their experience in public service would starkly contrast that of their Latin American peers. After all, in those countries, women already occupy 40% of political positions \u2013 and they didn\u2019t need <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/RegData\/etudes\/note\/join\/2013\/493011\/IPOL-FEMM_NT%282013%29493011_EN.pdf\">a quota system<\/a> to do it. Only in a gender-equal paradise could that happen, right?<\/p>\n<p>Sadly not.<\/p>\n<p>The women I interviewed varied in age and ideological background. Some were already retired and others were engaged as EU parliamentarians, congresspeople, government ministers, judges and congressional commission presidents.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_38121\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/euparliament.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38121\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/euparliament.jpeg\" alt=\"Hands up to support women\u2019s participation in the EU parliament.

Yves Herman\/Reuters<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nIt turns out that although women in Sweden and the Netherlands have achieved near parity in national parliaments, they nonetheless share many challenges. Every person interviewed \u2013 conservative, progressive, junior or senior \u2013 felt that women still had a long way to go to achieve substantive equality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we talk about involvement of women in politics,\u201d one Dutch interviewee said, \u201cit is not just a matter of numbers, but \u2026 also of their position to exert influence. How many of them are in \u2018hard core\u2019 areas like budget, for example, and really have visibility?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, equality is not just numeric.<\/p>\n<p>In the Netherlands, since the 1970s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/eige.europa.eu\/gender-mainstreaming\/countries\/netherlands\/structures\">gender mainstreaming\u201d effort<\/a>, the idea of gender equality is so firmly instilled that citizens won\u2019t vote for parties whose candidate lists aren\u2019t roughly gender-equal, ensuring women get on the ticket. The EU first began to legislate equal pay and equal rights for women in 1979, pressuring member states to adopt such laws nationally. So a top-down cultural shift has been underway for decades.<\/p>\n<p>All the women I spoke to agreed that this has helped, but only to a degree. Women are still under-represented in ministries and decisive parliamentary commissions: among developed-world nations, only 17% of government ministers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cepal.org\/es\/discursos\/foro-global-mujeres-parlamentarias-wip\">are women<\/a>. It\u2019s also meaningful that in Spain only 9% of male ministers do not have children, while <a href=\"http:\/\/politica.elpais.com\/politica\/2016\/11\/03\/actualidad\/1478202328_723969.html\">45% of female ministers do not<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Sweden nor the Netherlands has yet seen a female head of state \u2013 something that, for example, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Costa Rica have all achieved.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWe\u2019ve still got a long way to go<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So even in the world\u2019s most egalitarian countries, the debate on women\u2019s rights continues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are still many stereotypes that exert influence, especially on domestic task divisions,\u201d one Dutch parliamentarian said. Yes, even Western European women confront the \u201ccan she have it all?\u201d dilemma.<\/p>\n<p>Another woman, an EU parliamentarian, told me:<\/p>\n<p><em>When I became Member of Parliament, [the media] asked me how I managed to combine my work as a politician with motherhood or family life. Before we had kids, my husband had two jobs \u2026 He gave up one to take care of the household and our children. After eight years, he became Alderman of Amsterdam, \u2026 and then everybody turned to me and asked what I would do now. I answered \u2018well, I have the same job, he is the one who has a new one, so ask him.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, in Northern Europe as in the rest of the world, stereotypes and double-standards still influence <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/five-ways-the-media-hurts-female-politicians-and-how-journalists-everywhere-can-do-better-70771\">media coverage of women<\/a>. Women said journalists made numerous comments about their hair or clothing, or about looking exhausted after a late-night session (men were celebrated for their stamina).<\/p>\n<p>One woman with experience as both an EU parliamentarian and government minister, recounted this anecdote:<\/p>\n<p><strong>A photo journalist came to me and said \u2018Madam, you have always the same suit on\u2019. I said \u2018Yes, that\u2019s not a problem for me, is it a problem for you?\u2019 And he answered that in fact it was \u2026 because it gave the impression that photographs were always the same one. I always wore a brooch, so I told him, \u2018Ok, I will give you something new: I will change the brooches.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38122\" style=\"width: 764px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/albright.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38122\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/albright.jpeg\" alt=\" Former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright also famously used brooches as a political tool.

One congresswoman who suggested working with young boys and girls to raise awareness of gender stereotypes also commented that teachers at preschools and schools must be trained in equality as well. And indeed, some Scandanavian nations are, controversially, already mandating gender-neutral reading (<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/the-problem-with-snow-white-and-what-scandinavia-can-teach-us-about-it-70358\">goodbye, Snow White)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although defying gender roles is <a href=\"http:\/\/defyingenderoles.org\/\">everyone\u2019s job<\/a>, women have a decisive part to play. Each and every woman I interviewed, regardless of age or political position, agreed that mentorship was key to her success. Women with more experience offered advice to those with less, and gave them strength to keep fighting.<\/p>\n<p>At a collective level, too, these powerful women agreed that women\u2019s movements and women\u2019s organisations, both within civil society and inside political parties, are fundamental to the continued struggle for political inclusion. Such groups offer women \u201ca place where women meet [and] fight for their causes\u201d, one interview subject said.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_38123\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/stillstruggling.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38123\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/stillstruggling.jpeg\" alt=\" 2017: still struggling.
