Power of the VOICE Seminar 27 & 28 November 2015

Women make up over half the population of Guernsey and 46% of the local workforce, yet hold only five out of 47 States seats.

• Are the voices of the women of Guernsey being heard?• What role do women play in setting the policy and political direction for

our island?• Is the wider Guernsey population represented at political level?

Join us to debate and explore how to bring about an enthusiastic engagement of women in the political process.
