Campaign aims to encourage women to enter politics

Women's leadership movements across the world have been gaining momentum. One of them, Future Women will take this momentum to a month-long campaign - #HerVote - which will be launched at a town hall style event ahead of the Federal election, bringing candidates together to speak to female voters about their policies, representation and the future of women in politics.
