Local Election Update

Women Making a Difference would like to congratulate all six of our trailblazing women who took part in last Thursday's local elections. Jasmin Chowdhury, Anita Davies, Esther Negal, Bablin Molik, Fran Rawlings and Gloria Tanner have all made us very proud and whether they have won seats or not are women to aspire to as they have put themselves forward. Women will never win the race towards equality without entering the competition.
