🗳On #DemocracyDay we point out that

👩Men still hold more than 66% of the seats in the UK parliament despite a record number of women elected in December.

👩🏿Only 34% of councillors are women. 👵Only 24.3 per cent of all national parliamentarians were women as of February 2019, a slow increase from 11.3 per cent in 1995.

👩🏾Rwanda has the highest number of women parliamentarians worldwide, where, women have won 61.3 per cent of seats in the lower house.

Thank you so much to all those who joined us for our AGM and festivities last night.
We had a wonderful evening with friends old and new.
We couldn’t be more grateful for the support of @unisontweets for their constant support, and for hosting us in their beautiful building. 🙌 Thank you also to our fantastic speakers - to @RachelReevesMP, who reminded us just how special the places that women occupy in politics are, how hard our sisters fought to get us here and how much more there is to be done.

A huge thank you to the speakers in our sessions so far.

We were lucky to have Stephen Pearse, General Secretary of @EuroLabour and Jessica Watts, Head of Office for the EPLP leader, speak to us about how the Labour Party works within the EU. Image Next, we were thrilled to be joined by @SueHayman1 who is also visiting Brussels on her shadow DEFRA brief. Great to hear about environmental issues from Sue, and have the chance to pick her brains on policy! Image
