All the women were chosen to represent their ridings as a part of the Daughters of the Vote initiative created by Equal Voice
In celebration of International Women’s Day, for the first time ever every seat in Canada’s Parliament was filled with women.
Calgarian Ruhee Ismail-Teja was one of them. “In the history of Canada we’ve had 315 women be elected to the House of Commons, and today there were 338 of us sitting there,” said Ismail-Teja, 23. “That was really powerful.” All the women were chosen to represent their ridings in a competitive process as a part of the Daughters of the Vote initiative created by Equal Voice.

Congratulations Ruhee, it’s indeed very satisfying to see women today sitting in Parliament and making your voices heard, which is very necessary for today’s younger generation women for equality, when at one time, they were not heard from anyone. I pray there will be more women standing up for Parliament and discussing extreme and the righti ssues. Good Luck
