We’re not leading on women’s equality.
In fact, we trail 70 other countries for women’s political representation.
For democracy to be genuine, all voices must be meaningfully included in decision-making.
It’s time to Balance the Power.
“More than 100 countries worldwide have used policy, not good intentions, to rapidly close gender gaps in political representation. Most commonly, they require political parties to run certain percentages of women candidates… voters actually prefer when political decision-making bodies have equal numbers of women and men.”
86% of Canadians know we’re better served when women hold the balance of power. Yet we trail more than 70 countries on this metric because they’ve embraced system-level change.
