It's not necessarily at the university, but at work events.
I am extremely fortunate to have a very strong network of politically engaged women around me. I am a student at Dalhousie University. At this moment, I would like to thank Julia, Sabrina, Christine and Brianna, as well as the Progressive Conservative MLAs in Dartmouth, the female MLAs, for being that strong network for me and always reminding me of the respect I deserve as a young woman in politics.
When these situations happen, I believe it is very important to speak to it. If we keep avoiding the fact that it happened, if we stop speaking, we're just feeding the problem. By speaking out, whether it's to a co-worker, a friend, an employer, or anyone who might be able to help us with this situation, we are directly addressing the problem. That needs to be important. We need to remind young women that there should be no shame in coming forward.
