Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
1st Session
42nd Parliament
A
Leader
third
party,
according
to
a
2016
study
by
the
inter-parliamentary
union,
44
percent
of
female
politicians
report
having
received
threats
of
death,
rape,
assault
or
abduction,
reflecting
on
international
women's
day,
these
numbers
are
hard
to
bear.
In
the
same
year
that
the
ipu
study
came
out,
british
mp,
joe
cox,
was
murdered
in
her
constituency.
A
There
have
been
many
other
prominent
assassinations
of
female
politicians.
Mexican
mayor
gisela
mota,
shot
dead
less
than
a
day
after
she
took
office,
somali
lawmaker,
sato
al-warsamay,
killed
in
a
drive-by
shooting
in
mogadishu.
Swedish
foreign
minister
anna
lynn,
killed
at
the
age
of
46
satara
a
chicxai
shot
dead
outside
her
home
in
afghanistan
and
again
in
afghanistan.
A
A
I
know
I'm
not
alone.
We
do
not
have
to
feed
the
culture
of
violence
towards
each
other,
which
disproportionately
affects
women
to
achieve
better
outcomes.
We
must
work
across
party
lines
to
create
a
more
welcoming
environment
so
that
women
of
color
black
indigenous
lgbtq
s,
plus
cis
and
trans
women
will
feel
at
ease
in
these
halls
that
have
for
so
long
been
dominated
by
white
men.
Thank
you.
