Sandi Toksvig : A political party for women's equality


Sandi Toksvig at TEDWomen 2016
A political party for women's equality (transcript)
Summary
The speaker created a brand new political party to keep talking about equality like it matter. The name is The Women's Equality Party.
It's because she felt that first, the representation of women in positions of power is shockingly low because they're not at the table. However, even if they're there, they always find something better to do than to sort out the pesky issue of inequality.
She didn’t like doing to be a secret and she wanted to be the only political party in the world whose main aim was to no longer need to exist. It's going to get equality in every aspect of our lives. Now, it leads other parties to starting to tackle gender equality.
She hopes people around the world will copy her party's model and mobilize for equality.
