Given that men have created and perpetuated state power, men would shape the physical, sexual, economic, reproductive, and political lives of women. What would society look like if women weren't so underrepresented?
Expert Solution
Step 1

A fundamental human right is the full and equal involvement of women in all spheres of society. However, women and girls are disproportionately underrepresented in all spheres of life, including politics, entertainment, and the workplace.
The graphics that follow examine this gendered picture through time in greater detail and highlight how slowly change is occurring. The repercussions, which have their roots in patriarchal norms and traditions, are extensive and have a severe impact on the present and future economic, personal, and social well-being of women and girls, as well as those of their families and the society at large.  
No one should be left behind if we are to create a sustainable future for everyone. To represent their viewpoints and choices for their future and the growth of mankind, women and girls must be heard, acknowledged, and celebrated across society. They are essential to finding answers to the major problems we currently face.
