The Backbench

Why Don’t Women Run For Office?


Listen Later

It’s 2022 and our politics remain dominated by men. We talked to three women who spent time in office to try to find out why.


We’re joined by former NDP MP Peggy Nash, current NDP MP Leah Gazan, and former Vancouver city councillor Andrea Reimer. 


This event was organized by Between the Lines, the publisher of Peggy Nash’s book Women Winning Office: An Activist’s Guide To Getting Elected.


Panelists: Peggy Nash, Leah Gazan, Andrea Reimer


Sponsors: Oxio, Douglas, Images
