Our vision is an Ireland with full participation by women in Irish politics. We want to see 1,000 women on the ticket in the 2024 local elections and 250 women running in the next general election. We want these women to reflect the diversity of women in Irish society.
We all know a brilliant community organiser; the woman who runs a local business, a woman who leads the community campaigns or speaks up for change and progress. Perhaps your friend who is always there with advice, or your partner. We are seeing more women coming to our training all the time and declaring loudly and confidently that they are going to put themselves forward to run and we are hopeful for the future, and still we know there are even more powerful women out there.

Governments that reflect the diversity of the society they represent make better decisions. Politics is the most powerful vehicle for change, indeed almost every part of our lives is impacted by politics. A recurring theme in our research was that women who ran said ”If you want to make a change to Irish society, if you think you do something for your community, then you should ‘go for it” and run for election!”
We are naming the 4th February as #MoreWomenDay and we want you to tell that woman in your life (or yourself), that you think they would make a brilliant representative.
