Enda Kenny

We need more Women in Parliaments and as political leaders because we cannot continue to ignore the underrepresentation in government of half the world’s population. We know that when women are empowered and the voices of both men and women are heard and acknowledged, the nature and content of discourse changes and the quality of decision-making is enhanced for the betterment of society as a whole. We must ensure that political decision- making is shared by men and women, in line with their capabilities and not their gender.
