As part of building this website I asked some women who have spent parts of their lives participating in politics the following question:

Why is it important for women to be politically involved?

A few responses:

From Françoise Boivin, MP for Gatineau and Official Opposition Critic for Justice

From Joyce Murray, MP from Vancouver Quadra:

“Women live the experiences and perspectives of over half of humanity; we need their voices heard whenever issues are being discussed and decisions that affect women are made”
