In 2023, Jacinda Ardern resigned as New Zealand’s Prime Minister.
She had breastfed in parliament. Led her country through a pandemic, a mass shooting, a volcanic eruption. She was widely regarded as one of the most effective leaders of her generation.
And she was criticised. Relentlessly. For being a woman in the job.
When she resigned she said: “I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice.”
People called it brave.
And in the same breath said — see? Women can’t have it all.
She didn’t run out. The system ran her down.
No infrastructure on earth adequately supports a woman leading at that level while being a mother, a partner, a human being with a body that has limits.
She didn’t fail the myth. The myth failed her.
This is what Enough is Enough is about. The gap between what women are promised and what the system actually delivers.
