Fun Facts (if you want to include some data)
- From the FAQ “International Standing”
- Political gender parity in the United States is ranked 11th from the bottom for all countries in the Americas and Europe. The U.S. ranked 72 out of 82 countries in total.
- The gender equality gap is expected to close (on average, across all countries) in 99.5 years, the gender equality gap in America is not expected to close for 208 years.

- America no longer ranks within the top third of countries when ranked on gender equality.
- Gender equality is included in 168 international constitutions but not in ours.
