Gender equality benefits us all. While women make up roughly half the population, and the workforce (50.2%), they represent only 38% of women on Victorian councils.
Victorians need unity and leadership more than ever. The upcoming local government elections are a critical opportunity for women to stand and represent their communities and their values.Women’s voices must be part of a post-pandemic recovery that addresses the disproportionate impacts on women.
Now is the time to make right decisions about our future.
Nominations for the upcoming Council elections open 17 September, and close 12pm, 22 September 2020.
