10.01.2022 In a long fight for gender equality and inclusion, women have come a long way making their participation and presence evident in different social, economic, and... political sector. From a little to great progress, every field has encountered significant changes and so has the political domain. UN reports that as of 2015, women in every country in the world have the right to vote; the first nation to grant female suffrage was New Zealand in 1893, and the last country was Saudi Arabia in 2015. Today, several countries are led by females and some countries, such as Finland, also have a cabinet dominated by women. Yet, when we look deeper, we realize that despite such a long struggle, in 2020 too, we only have 4 countries with over 50 percent participation of women in the cabinet and parliament. While a lot of countries indicate a minimum of 30 percent participation, the question of mere representation over meaningful participation is still a concern. The question lies in why the progress is going at such a slow pace? Is it because women lack interest in politics or does the lack of adequate representation make them withdraw their interests? Thus, to tackle these questions and have an in-depth understanding, we bring to you a webinar on Women in Politics. From a an enthusiastic youth of Nepal to working on the literacy aspect of politics to an established politician of New Zealand under a phenomenal woman leader, we are trying to look into the political scenario of women around the world and why women participation in politics is a must. Come and be a part of this discussion.

02.01.2022 We held our July meeting last Tuesday evening via Zoom where we heard from Jill Bourke about her role as the Coordinator of the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House. Jill spoke about the challenges of her work and how COVID-19 has forced her to change the way she works and deals with people. While she spoke of the hardship this pandemic has caused she also shared with us the joy of meeting new people and forging new relationships that may never had happened if it wasn’t for the situation we are in. Thanks Jill and all our members and guests who are fully into the swing of using Zoom now. See who you can spot in the pictures! BPW Australia
