Women policy makers prioritise issues that benefit the most vulnerable in society, such as:
healthcare
welfare
education As such, more women leaders seem to make for more equal and caring societies;
On average, women work harder than men to represent their constituencies, which is linked to a stronger sense among voters that government is responsive to their needs;
Increased representation of women in elected office is associated with counteracting corruption and focusing resources on the quality and consistency of public service delivery;
States where women hold more political power are *less likely to go to war* and *less likely to commit human rights abuses*;
