20 States Send NO Women to Congress!

235 years after independence from the United Kingdom, U.S. women hold a measly 16.6% of Congressional seats - far below the 30% benchmark set by the United Nations. Most shockingly, 20 NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENATION STATES (40% of all states!) do not send even one woman to Washington!

The U.S. is currently 69th in the world for electing women to national legislative bodies, 87th on the list if you count all the ties! Many countries of all sizes and political systems have gone ahead of us by using some kind of candidate quota system. Global results and studies clearly show that we are stuck if we continue business as usual.

The numbers do not lie.
