The group will also collaborate with the Girl Guides of Prince Edward Island to develop two “Girls Parliaments” to encourage 54 girls to play a leading role in their communities. Women and girls will be empowered to fully participate in democratic life by bringing their experience and perspective to decision and policy-making tables.
