A view of Malmö from my balcony. I have no name for this meteorological phenomenon but it makes my fellow neighbours look rather unwelcoming.
Not so inviting...most likely added onto the porch during the 60s or later, the bars are there to keep people out...which is an intersting use of a structure that was originally intended to be inviting.
Women for Election today launched a campaign inviting people to ‘Join the Canvass For Women’ at a photcall outside City Hall in Dublin.
Ireland currently sits at 102nd in the world for gender equality in parliament. Just one in four of our Councillors are women and 41 of the 166 Local Electoral Areas across the country do not have any women Councillors. However, in the upcoming Local Elections, a record 583 women – so far - are intending to run.
“Women make up more than 50% of the population, but just a quarter of political decision-makers in national and local government. The Local and European Elections provide a great opportunity to have more competent and talented women at those decision-making tables”, said Brian Sheehan, CEO of Women for Election
“Elections are not won on your own. Candidates need leaflet droppers, door knockers, people to hang up posters and create content for social media. Our campaign invites people in all communities to sign up and give whatever time they can to a woman’s campaign”.
Women for Election will provide canvassing training and put volunteers in touch with the women's campaigns in their area, where they can choose which candidate to support.
