Daughters of the Vote

Giselle Marion, Implementation Facilitator, Communication and Special Projects presented two workshops for the Daughters of the Vote NWT Workshop on Monday, February 13, 2017. 

 “Daughters of the Vote” is a Equal Voice initiative to mark the 100th anniversary of women’s formal political engagement in 2016 — along with Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017.

Equal Voice promotes the election of women by:

  • Working with all political parties to increase the nominations of women candidates; 
  • Promoting electoral and other changes that would increase the numbers of women in politics; 
  • Conducting outreach with young women to inspire and engage them in politics as a future career choice; 
  • Encouraging women to run for office through programs such as our comprehensive, bilingual on-line campaign school; 
  • Raising awareness about the impact of women's under-representation; 
  • Celebrating women in politics; and 
  • Communicating and implementing EV's goals and activities through innovative programming, Equal Voice's chapters, our dynamic website, regular newsletters, media releases, Twitter and Facebook activity, and by hosting major events.
