A recent survey conducted by Greece‘s Research Center for Gender Equality (KETHI) in April found that 72 percent of Greeks believe that the country needs more women in politics, and their reluctance to participate is harmful to Democracy.
The survey found that 85.6 percent of women and 73.1 percent of men would like to see a female prime minister in Greece, while 60 percent of the total sample said that they have voted for female candidates in the past.
A shocking 89 percent of women in Greece, however, said that they have never even thought of running for public office.
The majority of those who participated in the survey believe that being a woman is an obstacle of its own when someone desires to run for office, as politics is still considered as a male sphere.
