‘The full and equitable participation of women in public office is essential to building and sustaining strong and vibrant democracies and communities'
What makes us human, with our diversified life experience and perspectives, regardless of gender, makes us worthy and credible to run for office, but as the only woman who was running in Ward 7, I knew I had to work harder.
It’s not about “playing the woman card” either. It’s simply about bringing awareness to the gender discrepancy that is so important to effective governance. It’s misogynistic comments like this that try to suppress women from taking leadership roles . It’s not only insulting to the women who put their names forward and won, but also to the voters, who saw the value in casting their support behind them.
I really hope that when people see women in leadership roles, regardless of age or political status, that it will encourage them to get more involved in different ways in our communities. The effect on our young people to see women in power is invaluable.Put simply, it matters because women's representation is necessary to ensure that democracy functions as effectively as possible.
