Deciding to work on women's leadership in the communities came out of the self-government workshops. We didn't want women's voices to be left behind in the self-government negotiations that the men were doing. When we did the workshops, leadership came out as being a very strong issue. We decided to see who was in leadership and how many. At one point, when we started, it was around 12%. The number now is 24%.
