Dear Editor,

Women are the largest voting block in the Guyana. The forum will be held at Tasty Dish Conference Room at 20 David Street, Kitty on February 27, 2019, 5:30- 7:30 pm.
The format which the session will take encourages the public to ask questions, receive information and become a part of the discussion on issues affecting women.
The opening session will include a brief voter’s education session to provide information and encourage the public to ask questions and become a part of the discussion on issues affecting women.

The focus will be on issues revolving around; 1. Outcome-based projects to increase civic engagement and base-building and voter’s empowerment of women; 2. Education on the political process, leadership development, and preparation of young women interested in playing a role in the political process; and 3. Engagement of women in policy discussions, to ensure significant impact of women voters in the political process.
