Women's Leadership
Nova Scotia needs more women in leadership positions.
It’s important to have women, in all their diversity, at the decision-making table:
- government policy and decision making can impact women differently than men;
- women bring different perspectives and knowledge that can help to advance gender equity; and
- greater diversity enables innovation and helps governments and public sector organizations respond creatively to issues and challenges
Advancing women's leadership is central to creating a stronger and more dynamic Nova Scotia.
The Status of Women Office supports women leaders and those aspiring to leadership roles in public service.
Campaign School for Women
The Status of Women's Office provides support for women interested in leadership opportunities through a non-partisan Campaign School for Women. Campaign schools prepare participants to run for public office, organize campaigns, or pursue non-elected political roles.
Key topics include diversity, gendered leadership and women in politics.
The program also covers topics that are relevant to running a modern campaign, such as managing social media, developing a brand, and navigating the campaign process.
