Join the Women's Equality Network (WEN) Wales at the Senedd on 21st October as they bring women together to connect, mobilise and champion their role in Wales's democracy.

Register your interest now for We Belong Here: Women’s Takeover of the Senedd / Lle i Ni: Diwrnod Menywod yn y Senedd! Hosted by the Senedd Commission and organised by WEN Wales and Elect Her, this exciting one-day event on 21st October 2023 is aimed at bringing together the women of Wales to connect, mobilise and champion their role in Welsh democracy.

We want equal and diverse representation for women in Welsh politics – particularly women from Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority backgrounds, LGBTQ+ women, Disabled women, and women with other protected characteristics. To this end, this event is geared towards ensuring that a broad and diverse range of women in Wales:

• Can meet and work together to consider the progress made to date towards equal representation in politics in Wales and the UK.

• Engage with senior representatives from relevant public bodies in Wales, including the Senedd, the Welsh Government, the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) and others.

• Can learn more about the stages involved in standing for elected office and explore their own potential as candidates.

• Can meet with political leaders in national and local government to explore and learn about the roles, realities, opportunities, challenges, and potential impacts of standing for and achieving elected office.

Please register your interest here on Eventbrite to keep in touch with updates and further details on the workshops and speakers planned for the day.
