"For a woman to reach an executive position in Government, she needs a much stronger CV than men"

Now14 September 2026 at 11:54

Alexandre Malhado addressed the gender disparity in access to executive positions in Government, stating that a woman needs a much stronger CV than men to reach those positions.

Malhado also dedicated himself to analyzing the joint initiative by Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to hold independence referendums regarding the United Kingdom.

The article thus addresses two distinct themes: gender inequality in political leadership and independence movements in the British regions.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal face the same dynamics of gender inequality in politics, where women need to prove themselves more than men to achieve leadership positions. The article also reports on developments in the United Kingdom that may have implications for the political balance in Europe.
