Webinar of the Francophone Gender Equality Network
May 4, 2021
On May 4th, the Canadian Branch of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie (APF) participated in the Francophone Gender Equality Network webinar, the theme of which was: “Intergenerational Political Dialogue: The Political Leadership of Young Francophone Women for the Next Generation and Including Youth in Decision-Making Processes.”
Kristina Michaud, MP and rapporteur for the APF’s Network of Young Parliamentarians, represented the Canadian Branch at this event, which brought together 45 participants from various countries. Ms. Michaud discussed the role of young APF members in politics and their contributions. She also pointed out the following barriers to youth participation in politics: limited age, limited political representation, the need to start a family, lack of confidence, and social pressures and limitations.
She proposed some solutions to these problems, including implementing a quota for young parliamentarians, which would promote the participation of women in politics; lowering the age of eligibility; creating more youth political groups; and an open-minded public that is willing to place greater trust in youth.
We must continue to raise awareness among the public and the world’s political leaders in order to encourage them to give young people a stronger voice.
