Ms Miriam Holt:

Yes, it is. That is where we are at. I suppose we are at the pre-development stage, making the spaces comfortable for women. That is why we bring politicians to the local projects. It is to have them sitting in the room with women, so women will know them. I am referring to politicians from the women's own communities. The women may never have engaged with them before. We are just trying to take the mystery out of it but it is difficult. It is difficult to encourage women into politics when they see what is happening to women in politics. What we try to do is put supports in place and get women into local leadership roles. Wherever that takes them, we try to support them there. That is the stage we are at.
