Where are the women? Discussion on women and leadership
Wednesday 21st July, 6:30pm -8:00pm, Venue TBC
We’ve had a look in Parliament and can’t find too many there. Had a scan of the Cabinet and could only see one or two. Checked in at the Labour leadership race and could only see one. We’ve been looking everywhere and just can’t seem to find the women.
If like us you’re concerned about the lack of women in Parliament and the drought of women in political leadership positions then join us for a lively and interesting discussion about what can be done about it.
We know lots of you have ideas about why it is that women are still only 1/5th of MPs and what can be done to change this. We also think that if we want to see more talented women elected at the next general election, and more women standing for the leadership of their political party, that we need to pool these ideas.
We hope you’ll join us for a roundtable discussion with other Progressive Women and representatives from the world of policy and politics. Do you know the secret to getting more women into Parliament – come along and tell us. Do you want to know the answer to increasing female leadership – come along and find out.
At the next election we want to see the number of women MPs increase significantly, the next time a political party has a vacancy for leader we want to see women at the forefront, we hope you’ll come along and be part of the process to get there.
