The election has generated a series of discussions, mainly from the three main political parties, but also women who feel they have been represented during the campaign. Last week, a number of women candidates in parliamentary work has talked about how the wives of leaders “are the only women to attract attention despite the fact that record numbers of women are standing for the party. The Guardian reported that the deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman said: “Politics has always been dominated by men – so we still have work to do.” Speaking to reporters, Kat Banyard, co-founder of the UN feminist and author joined the illusion of equality, said: “By observing this election, it is clear that politicians are notably absent. We have a lot of women, but not many women parliamentarians. “All the players are white males. The lack of female role models is really hard.” But, if the Conservatives win a majority there as many as 60 women in parliament, said Theresa May, shadow work and pensions secretary. As support for women’s issues in elections, CERI Goddard, CEO of Fawcett Society, said that much of the campaign focused on women as mothers, rather than covering the issues of working women . In response, the group, which supports gender equality, launched the campaign “And women?.
It brings together over 40 organizations from all sectors and levels of the workforce in the UK to champion women’s issues and the politicians to support the participation of women in key policy areas such as equality.
The choice comes just months before the new Equality Act comes into force this autumn and the new government starts to roll up their sleeves.
Another group of professional women who have expressed their concern about the representation of women in the election of five women in business in south-west England. They made an event of inadequacy and unbootable, to provide support and information to women entrepreneurs through networking.
Speaking before the event on May 21, a special guest, Saira Khan, the BBC show The Apprentice, said: “If you look at the three main political parties seems that there is small to target women and yet it is large number of women pursuing their own business or looking to start a business. “He added:” I know from experience how it can be hard to obtain financing and investment support organizations that are still managed by the traditional white, male, half-class, middle-aged. “There will be a series of workshops to encourage women to support each other and work to succeed in an environment dominated by men.
