Japan’s governing party on Saturday elected former Economic Security Minister Sanae Takaichi as its new leader, making her likely to become the country’s first female prime minister.
In a country that ranks poorly internationally for gender equality, Takaichi would make history as the first female leader of Japan’s long-governing conservative Liberal Democratic Party.
She is one of the most conservative members of the male-dominated party.
Claudia Sheinbaum was recently elected the first female Prime Minister of Mexico.
Other countries include: Italy, Uganda, Iceland, Aruba and Uganda.
Things are changing!
