The recent resignations of two prominent female world leaders – Nicola Sturgeon in Scotland and Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand – have raised questions about the additional pressures on female politicians and whether enough is being done to remove the hurdles they face. Women in politics face additional scrutiny and challenges, such as the pressure to balance family life with their political career, and are often subject to sexist attacks and misogyny. Canadian politicians and political observers have noted the problem of treating women leaders with respect in the Canadian context. Women like Catherine McKenna, Chrystia Freeland, Laurel Collins, and Karen Vecchio have all faced personal attacks, yet continue to strive for positive change and equality. To better support women in politics, Canada must continue to remove barriers and lift up female leaders.
