What would the world's top tables look without men? Empty, is the answer. A new video created for the #MoreWomen campaign has highlighted the lack of the fairer sex in significant positions by Photoshopping men out of the picture.

In the clip, photos from political arenas such as the UN and Parliament, as well as Buckingham Palace, cabinet meetings and top TV shows have been given the feminist airbrushing treatment.

And the scenes are left looking eerily empty without the men who usually dominate them.

However, take away the male leaders from the original picture and you are left with three women - the Queen, German Chancellor Angela Merkel (left) and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the president of Argentina (right)

Feeling lonely? Take the men out of the equation and Emma Watson is sitting alone in the UN, shows a new video created by Elle Magazine for its #MoreWomen campaign which highlights the lack of women in significant positions

Images of BBC's Question Time, Saturday Night Live, Masterchef and University Challenge have also been given the same treatment in the project by Elle Magazine.

In the video, Emma Watson cuts a lonely figure in the UN - where she gave a speech on women's rights last year - when the men around her are removed.

In a debate in the Houses of Parliament, the chamber looks practically empty when only a handful of women MPs are left on the benches after the men have been taken out of the equation.

And in a photo of the Queen hosting a reception for G20 leaders at Buckingham Palace, Merkel is once again one of the only women left, save for The Queen herself and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the president of Argentina.

On the day of the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in 2011, in a meeting with Barack Obama and his top security advisers in the Situation Room on the day of the raid on Osama bin Laden compound in 2011 Hilary Clinton is also left sitting all on her own when her colleagues are erased.

The video, which is accompanied by the slogan 'there is room for more of us at the top' on the magazine's website, supports the #MoreWomen campaign, which Elle launched in their November 'feminism' issue.

However, there is just one woman left in the picture when the men are airbrushed out as part of Elle's campaign

In the issue, Lorraine Candy, Elle's editor-in-chief describes her hopes that the campaign will help empower more women to make it to the top.

Candy also makes a plea to readers to rally together and support other women to help achieve the goal of equality.

'In this issue I’m asking you to do something very special,' she writes. 'I want you to help empower every woman – not just the ones you favour, the ones you love and like or agree with.

'I’m asking you to support those with different ideas from yours, for you to ‘do right’ by other women, and to welcome into the fold those women whose ideology you may not always approve of – whose appearance or lifestyle you may not value in the same way you value yours.'

The editor continues: 'Why? Because silence is no longer an option.

'We need equal pay, we need a fair and humane judiciary for those of us who have suffered assault or abuse, we need an equal path to success at work, we need flexibility when we have a family, we need our value in society to be the same value as that of a man.

'We also want the same opportunities and choices men have so that our world is fairer for all, more economically successful for our future and a happier place to live in.'
