There is also strong evidence that as more women are elected to office, there is a corollary increase in policymaking making that emphasizes quality of life and reflects the priorities of families, women and ethnic and racial minorities, too. Male and female legislators must work together in order to solve the myriad of problems in their countries. In order to meet worldwide development goals and build strong, sustainable democracies, women must be encouraged, empowered and supported in becoming strong political and community leaders. Thank you. Bye
