Hard Numbers

90,000: Special “conquest” prayers were held in all of Turkey’s 90,000 mosques over the weekend to lend support to the government’s recently launched military offensive into Syria. Once a bastion of state-enforced secularism, Turkey under Erdogan has embraced a new Islamic nationalism.

390: 390 women are planning to run for the House of Representatives, more than at any other point in US history. Hillary’s loss, Trump’s win, and the spread of #MeToo have galvanized what could be a sea change in female political participation.

97: According to a recent poll, 97 percent of Brazilians believe their government caters to a small, powerful elite. Look for an outsider to gain traction ahead of the country’s high-stakes October presidential election.

70: Almost 70 percent of female Chinese university students say they have experienced sexual harassment, with fewer than 4 percent reporting them to the police. #MeToo goes global. #WoYeShi

40: In countries with recently ended civil wars, there’s a 40 percent chance of lapsing back into conflict. The risk falls by 1 percent for each subsequent year of peace.
