What are the main challenges for female leaders?

Workplace equality is an uphill battle female leaders fought for decades. Women and young girls everywhere face an immense range of challenges-from the inability to access food, education and employment to the threat of gender-based violence.

CHALLENGES-

•       Education: One of the biggest challenges facing women is educational inequality. 7% of women are most concerned about education and schooling -- both for themselves and their children.
•       Can’t travel alone: Between street harassment and the very real threat of violence hanging over our heads every day, women have more to worry about even when they simply go out in public alone, let alone when they travel. It's possible to travel solo, of course, but women have to weigh the consequences in a way that men rarely do.
•       Interests are devalued: It's a sad truth that as soon as women become associated in something, it automatically loses status in society's eyes. You can see this in the workforce — when more women enter an occupation, it frequently loses respect — as well as female dominated fandom, which are largely looked down on in other corners of the Internet.
•       Sexism, Racism and economic inequality: The extremely potent combination of sexism, racism and economic inequality- this may seem like too broad an answer but it pretty much covers it on both a domestic and global front. All of the individual challenges we may be tempted to rank are symptomatic of these massive systemic power imbalances, working in tandem.

•       The lack of respect for care-giving: Women in the world, particularly in developing and middle-income countries, face the far more elemental problem of still being considered property.
•       The lack of women in positions of power: One of the struggles that underlies all of our policy battles is the continued lack of women in positions of power. The sooner we understand that the lack of women in leadership roles holds back not only women, but all people, the sooner we will be able to advance society as a whole.
•       Inequality of fundamental and economic opportunity: The biggest challenge facing women internationally is the fundamental and economic opportunity that the majority of women in the world face. A 21^st century feminism should work to extend the human rights, political freedoms, economic opportunities enjoyed by women globally.
•       Increasing rates of maternal mortality: The greatest challenges women throughout the world face are increasing rates of maternal mortality. According to WHO, 830 women die every day from “preventable causes related to pregnancy”. This leads to untimely and preventable deaths.

Ø Their perspectives and experiences of the women must help shape our collective future. If we want to forge the best solutions for expanding peace and security moving forward, then we need to give smart, dynamic and strong women a seat at the decision-making table-both here at home and around the world.
