Do you know a bright, brilliant woman in your community who would make a great elected official?
Today is #AskHerToStand Day, marking 106 years since the Qualification of Women Act. This day reminds us of the importance of empowering women to take their place in politics.
If you know a woman who shows leadership, dedication, and a commitment to making a difference, please encourage her to step forward and consider a role in public office. The journey may be challenging, but it is one of the most rewarding ways to create change and give back to your community.
We’ve made progress - 40% of MPs in Westminster are now women - but there’s still a way to go. Men continue to outnumber women in Parliament and local councils. We need balanced representation, where men and women work together equally to tackle the challenges we face as a nation.
The team at 50:50 Parliament is here to help. Women can sign up at https://5050parliament.co.uk/sign-up-to-stand/ to get started on their political journey.
