In the lead in to the 2024 local elections we are holding a national conference in Cork City to champion solutions to make politics more accessible, inclusive, safe and equal for women across Ireland.
The Count Her In Conference will showcase new innovations being launched by Women for Election as well as creating the spaces for dialogue and new thinking.
We will have contributions from political leaders, future candidates, elected local and national politicians, policy makers, business leaders, academics, students and a diversity of civic society groups.
This innovative conference will create the space for dynamic dialogues between participants and inspiring thought leaders to broaden understanding of solutions to help elect women equally in 2024.
Registration for the conference is now open!
