A good article by Judges Matter based on the Judiciary Annual Report 2021/2022 on the strides that women have made in the legal profession. 2023 marks 100 years since women were allowed to enter the legal profession in South Africa. A few statistics include: ✅ 113 of 253 superior court judges are women. This is approximately 45%. ✅ The President of the Supreme Court of Appeal is a woman. ✅ The former President of the Supreme Court of Appeal, now the Deputy Chief Justice and is a woman. ✅ The Kwa Zulu Natal High Court and the Mpumalanga High Court are led by women judge presidents. ✅ The Free State High Court, Limpopo High Court, Northen Cape and Western Cape High Courts have women as deputy judge presidents. In the lower courts (magistrate's courts): ☑ 51% of magistrate's are women. ☑ 4 of the 8 permanent Regional Court presidents are women. ☑ 10 out of the 16 Chief Magistrates are women.

These photos from House of Commons, show the diversity within our Cabinet ministers and Caucus compared to the conservatives. Take a look at the representation in each frame— it’s hard not to see how our Liberal government ensures women are not just present but pivotal in our decision-making. Meanwhile, you only see women in photos of the conservative caucus when you see the leader - the limited number of conservative women MPs strategically arranged around him giving the impression of a higher proportion of women than is actually the fact. Our dedication to women’s rights, including access to free contraceptives, is not just a policy but a promise. We will continue to protect the rights guaranteed in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and of course women’s right to choose. Women’s rights are human rights. #GenderEquality #womensrightsarehumanrights

Democracy is Feminist. "Historically, women in the United States have participated voraciously in civic life, registering and voting at higher rates than men in every presidential election since 1980. Black women show up at the polls and in voter mobilization efforts in even greater numbers, with turnout rates of upward of 66% in 2020."

Women shouldn’t own property. They’re inferior & aren’t capable. Pardon our language… but F*CK that. Can you believe that this used to be the norm? The LAW? Today is International Women Day. Today we celebrate how far we have ALL come as we may not all be women, but we ALL have mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, close female colleagues and friends- and we all should want to promote a world that values equality. In 2024, here is what we as a society who promotes equality need to celebrate in terms of what women now represent: -62% of realtors -61.9% of property management -83.6% of escrow officers -83.9% of interior designers -AND single women homebuyers now have 10.95 million homes, while single men own 8.24 million What a change!!! Here’s to all the women before us who experienced hardship, to all the men and women who fought to change this, and to all the badass females who are proving that equality should exist. 💕 #women #bossbabes #bossbabesunite #womeninternationalday #equality #badasswomen
