N2  - 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. While some voters can anticipate real change, others face sham elections and leaders poised to overthrow the basic principles of open society. 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
