About Us
Our purpose, our cause and our impact
A late-night Whatsapp conversation sparked the idea of creating a powerful
movement rooted in our own community.
In 2017, our organization was born. We are on a mission to bring cultural change
by empowering women to seek leadership positions in public service. Armed with
undeniable research, powerful experiences, and a bold optimism, we’re sparking
a movement to end the inequality.
We are confident in our ability to effect change, even as a small grassroots group.
Our ambition grows from witnessing the overwhelming disparity in public service
and the immense barriers faced by women in our field. With our community as
our catalyst, we maintain an overwhelming passion in our drive to see parity.
Acting as a doorway for women into politics, we are ParityYEG.
We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
WHAT DO WE DO?
OUR PURPOSE
We exist to build parity in politics. This drive for equality in public service
fuels our desire to also shift our culture to achieve gender balance across
every sector.
OUR CAUSE
Parity in politics will only be achieved when women feel supported to seek
public office — that’s where ParityYEG prevails.
OUR IMPACT
Through a multitude of opportunities and with a multipartisan approach,
we engage, encourage, and work alongside women to ensure new doors are
being opening and the dream to run for office is realized.
OUR VALUES
TRANSPARENCY
Our organization is based on
an open structure. We are
multipartisan in our approach,
accepting all types of change-
makers, voices, and ideas.
RESPECT
Our unapologetic ambition does
not overshadow the fact that
change will never come through
disdain. We appreciate all
opinions, ideas, and convictions.
COMMUNITY
Change doesn’t happen in a
void; we need a village to make
progress. Our community lifts us
up and enables us to empower others
INTEGRITY
We are principled in our
movement. We accept our
responsibility as role models for
the next generation, and always
act with honesty, sincerity, and
truth.
INCLUSIVITY
Everyone is welcome, regardless of
gender, political stripes, religion, or
otherwise. We value collaboration,
equality, and opinions — there is
no right or wrong; progress can’t
be made without meaningful
conversation.
