One of the challenges facing local governments—and institutional politics in general—is reversing the historically negligible presence of women in political parties and administrations.

We defend equality, we sign manifestos, we are shocked by the data on the gender gap and gender-based violence. And yet, play, the first space in which children and society meet, is still full of stereotypes.
