The world has witnessed a signif icant change and attitudinal shift in both women' s and society' s thoughts about women' s equality and emancipation. But that doesn't mean we should become complacent about gender equality. International Women' s Day (IWD) is about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and ac tion. This year' s IWD theme encourages everyone to be bold for change. Men and women are en couraged to be bold in their conversations, ex pectations and actions that call for gender parity and the empowerment of women and girls in Canada and around the world. We must commit to creating opportunities for women and girls to achieve and succeed by fostering systemic change and providing various forums for powerful female voices to be heard. This month I am launching my Young T Women in Leadership Program which will offer young women in Oakville North-Burlington an opportunity to job-shadow in a local business, agency, organization, or government. The need for a career shadow initiative for young women came out of a roundtable on women' s empowerment that I hosted on Inter national Women' s Day last year. If you or someone you know would like to participate in our Young Women in Leadership Program as a Mentor or as a Mentee, please con tact my community office. Equal Voice' s "Daughters of the Vote" was cre ated to ensure women are dynamic and equal participants at every political decision mak ing table in the country. Tarini Sharma is the Oakville North-Burlington representative who will be joined by emerging young female lead ers from every riding across Canada to take her seat in the House of Commons to celebrate 100 years of some women' s right to vote.
