Hahn+Zimmermann won gold by visualising women in politics across 193 countries

  • Gold

The ‘Women in Politics’ campaign uses interactive data visualisation to showcase the representation of women in parliaments across 193 countries since 1950. Through a scrollytelling website, users can explore the data in four ways: by continent, country, year and percentage of women in parliament. It highlights disparities, with African and South American countries having the highest female representation, followed by Europe.

The campaign also features teaser animations, posters and T-shirts to promote the project. The initiative aims to raise awareness of gender inequality in politics, allowing users to engage with the data and gain deeper insights into the global political landscape.

Judges found the entry highly creative, describing it as “beautifully designed” and “visually engaging”.
