Ms Miriam Holt:

Our focus is on women in leadership roles. We are aware of the role of women in their communities. We want to see those women in politics. We comprise more than 50% of the population, yet that is not reflected in our representation. There are many women who are political animals but who are being stopped from accessing politics by barriers.

Our focus is on women in leadership on the ground, but we are a member of the National Women's Council and we work closely with other organisations, for example, the 5050 Group and Women in Politics, at national and local levels.
