Nekpen Obasogie: Elevating Female Leadership in Politics and Driving Civic Engagement in Canada

We had the privilege of meeting the Member of Provincial Parliament, Mohamed Firin, in York South-Weston, Toronto. This visit stemmed from our commitment to supporting vulnerable community members across the City of Toronto, particularly in addressing the challenges related to access to affordable housing. Advocating for these community members at the governmental level is important, especially through the lens of female leadership. Although there have been significant strides in the representation of women in politics over the past few decades, they continue to be underrepresented in leadership roles globally. In celebration of this year's International Women's Day, we encourage more women to participate in politics and civic engagement across Canada, urging their active involvement at all levels of government. - By Nekpen Obasogie
