Equal Voice is striving to create a free and accessible resource for those interested in the involvement of women and gender diverse people in Canadian politics. This page contains federal and provincial/territorial data on women's participation in Canadian legislatures:
Status of women and gender diverse political representation:
- Women and gender diverse people make up 34% of all elected officials in federal and provincial/territorial legislatures
- The legislature closest to gender parity at the political level is Quebec at 46%!
- Equal Voice would like to see women and gender diverse people make up at least 30% of each legislature by 2030.
