Nicola Sturgeon’s decision to step down as Scottish first minister highlights the pressures women politicians endure and the need to do more to keep them in their roles, campaigners say.

Ms Sturgeon, the first female first minister of Scotland, announced she was resigning at a news conference in Edinburgh on Wednesday after more than eight years in the job.
