New analysis from the Fawcett Society and Democracy Club shows just how far we have to go to achieve truly equal gender representation. Currently, fewer than 5% (18 or 382) of local councils have achieved at least parity in gender representation. That means, based on the current rate of change, we won’t see 50:50 representation until 2051. Fawcett regularly conducts analysis of women’s representation in local authorities in lieu of any official government or political party monitoring.
