| 520 | |a 2024 is an extraordinary year for democracy. Nearly half the world's population live in countries that will hold a national election this year, and two billion people are expected to head to the polls. It's inspiring, thrilling - yet democracy is also under threat.

Here, ten women - politicians, philosophers, historians, writers, activists - reflect on democracy's power to uplift our societies, its strengths and vulnerabilities, sharing a vision for free expression and a better future for the next generation of voters. | ||
