Matriarchal villages around the world where women lead the way

From the Khasi in India, where inheritance flows through the female line, to the Mosuo in China with their ‘walking marriages,’ women hold significant decision-making power. These communities, including the Bribri, Minangkabau, Akan, and Umoja, showcase diverse models of female leadership and cultural preservation.
