🇯🇵 Japan's Iron Lady?

Hey there, fam! 🌟

Welcome to today’s briefing from Cross Border Insights! Whether you’re cozied up with a cup of coffee or scrolling through on your commute, we’re so glad to have you with us. You could’ve been anywhere on the internet, but you chose to be here, and that means the world.

Today, I’ve been reflecting on something pretty incredible: the growing number of women serving as heads of state across the globe. 🌍 From Katalin Novák in Hungary to Tsai Ing-wen in Taiwan 🇭🇺🇹🇼, we’re seeing more and more women stepping into leadership roles, breaking barriers, and bringing fresh perspectives to the world stage.

It’s not just about representation—it’s about the strength, resilience, and empathy that women bring to decision-making. In a world where conflict and diplomacy are constant, having diverse voices at the top can truly shift how we navigate global challenges. Here’s to more trailblazers paving the way!
