One Woman One Vote                                   

What Is One Woman One Vote?

This program was created to provide women with information about how they can become active participants in shaping the public agenda on policies and issues that impact their lives. One Woman One Vote is a non-partisan initiative encouraging women to vote. This web site contains information on how and why the initiative was created and also identifies various ways that you can become involved. The initiative is about change, and so is our website, visit us often to see what's new and learn more about us. We welcome your input and participation, you can make a difference!

Why Vote?

Because:

     You can- the YWCA works in countries around the world            encouraging women to vote - many fear reprisal and for              their personal safety as they fight for their right to place a             mark on a ballot beside a candidate’s name.

     It takes only 15 minutes, but lasts for years.

     You care how we are viewed on the provincial, national, and           international stages.

     You care about cost of living, education, childcare,

poverty, violence against women, and other issues such as health care.

     Your choice matters as much as the choice of your spouse, or          your boss, or your partner, or a millionaire CEO, or  a                homeless person - unless you make no choice at all.

     You like the way things are, and want to make sure they stay           the same.

     You are unhappy with the way things are, and want to make           sure they change in the direction you want.

Vote. It's your Voice.
