Women in rural areas
27. Januar 2025
Women are particularly underrepresented where the greatest levers for change lie: in leadership positions, in statistics, and in the public.

The Thünen-Institute examines the situation of women in rural regions in a thematic focus and provides well-founded data and background information.
