About Women in Leadership Network |
|
Throughout the world, regardless of geography, the lack of women in political leadership positions is a common theme. In Ireland, the percentage of women elected into Dáil Eireann in 2007 was just 13% and the percentage of women elected into local councils in 2009 stands at around 17%. Ireland ranks only 23rd out of the 27 EU countries for the percentage of women in parliament.
The difficulties that women still face in politics are real, with few women role models and limited mentoring opportunities or support. The Women in Leadership Network will prepare women to run in future elections to boost the number of women in public office. With the right mentoring and training, we aim to provide women with the supports and skills required to succeed and stay in the male dominated world of politics
