Solving the problem of women’s political underrepresentation is challenging and complex, and counting women into political life requires action on many fronts. The new Counting Women In campaign aims to secure equal representation and influence of women in Parliament and Government at national, regional and local level over the next 10 years.
Counting Women In is a public facing campaign that calls on the public to mobilise and demand that that the world of politics changes to better serve women. The time to act is now – join with the coalition in demanding that the system changes to better serve women and ultimately to better serve democracy.
