Empowering Winnipeg Women in Political Leadership

From the local to the global level, women’s leadership and political participation are restricted.  Women are underrepresented as voters, as well as in leading positions, whether in elected office, the civil service, the private sector or academia.

This occurs despite their proven abilities as leaders and agents of change, and their right to participate equally in democratic governance.

Moderated by Mary Agnes Welch

Panel: Women on Winnipeg City Council

Please join myself, Councillor Lukes, and my colleagues Councillors Sharma, Rollins, Gilroy and Santos for an open and frank discussion on the challenges and opportunities –

• As an advocate for issues
• As a candidate running for election
• As an elected representative
