130 years. That's how long it will take to achieve gender equity at the highest levels of global politics. Around the world, women are still less likely to be encouraged to run for public office at every level - this starts with what we tell young girls about what is possible and ultimately influences women's lack of confidence to step into the race. Erin Loos Cutraro founded She Should Run to give women from all walks of life the tools they need to run for public office. In this re-release from season one, Erin joins Kassia and Sabrina to talk about:
• The double standards that women endure when running for public office
• Why representation matters and what changes when women hold elected positions
• How she manages to remain hopeful about the future of our democracy
