Would the world be more peaceful if more women were in charge?

Just 13 out of 193 countries have female leaders, according to October 2024 data.

Former Irish president Mary Robinson told Sky News that having more women at the top was "necessary" for a more peaceful world.

History suggests women leaders have been just as, if not more, "prone to initiating conflicts" as men.

"Of course, we see things going very much in the opposite direction at the moment, much more towards a return to masculine, aggressive, assertive voices," she says. Various surveys from different countries have found women are more averse to war (whether this is nature or nurture is another debate) - though that balances out when the threat is imminent. Mary Robinson says it is not that women are better than men. It is that "solving the world's toughest challenges needs all voices, not just those of half the global population"..
