Kalindi Speaks to Doris Anderson

Doris Anderson is the president of Fair Vote Canada and is a journalist and an activist. She was the editor of Chatelaine from 1957 to 1977 and is a past president of NAC. Ms. Anderson spoke at the conference about options for change in our electoral system to create a fairer, more representative democracy.

Kalindi had the opportunity to speak with Ms. Anderson after her talk. Ms. Anderson shared with Kalindi her thoughts that we need a change in our voting systems that will allow the removal of barriers to the nomination and election of women. Even though 12 year olds, like Kalindi, cannot vote, young women should be informed about the issues and they have the power to work together to lobby the government for change.
