In a broader social context, Dr. Ute Leidig, State Secretary in the Ministry of Social Affairs, Health and Integration, expressed on women in management positions. On the occasion of World Women's Day on March 8, she emphasized the underrepresentation of women in leadership structures of all social areas, although more than half of the population is female. Current social challenges, such as the aftermath of pandemic and the war of aggression on Ukraine, required a stronger participation of women in decision -making processes.

The representation of women in the German Bundestag is currently 34.7 % and 29.2 % in the Baden-Württemberg state parliament. A reform of the state election law is sought to increase the women's representative, since a conscious focus is to be on it for the next state election in 2026. The equality of women is also intended to help combat the shortage of skilled workers in the economy and to strengthen the democratic balance.

In a further survey on the gender Pay GAP 2022, it has been shown that women in Baden-Württemberg earn 23 % less than their male colleagues. The state measures, such as promoting education and training for women, aim to reduce these differences and to support a heterogeneous occupation of decision -making bodies.

These events and developments illustrate the current challenges and discussions in politics as well as the social framework that is necessary for progress in equality.
