Brought to you by Equal Voice NL & Office of Women and Gender Equality

Formerly known as Daughters of the Vote (DOV), Equal Voice NL invites 40 young women and gender diverse individuals (ages 18 to 29), from all regions of the province to fill the NL House of Assembly on Friday, October 21, 2022.

The program objective is to expose participants to the province’s political institution and those who work within it, as well as become more inspired to participate in the formal political sphere and take action in their local communities in the years and decades to come.
