ADVOCACY
“Women Working for Working Women -
Advocacy, Leadership, Personal Development, Networking"
BPW advocates for women at the local, provincial, national and international level. Here are some examples:
Local – BPW Regina - Political Breakfast
BPW Regina organizes a breakfast when there is a municipal, federal or provincial election and more than one party has a local female candidate. Candidates are invited to present their platform and provided time to answer questions. The event is opened to the public.
Each candidate has five to seven minutes to answer three questions on current issues that impact women. (For example, over the next two years BPW Canada has
three issues that they are dedicating efforts to: Women in Politics, Income Equity, and Childcare.) Participants attending the breakfast also have an
opportunity to ask questions from the floor.
