Women in Politics

Women in politics face many different challenges compared to their male colleagues. Bal & Taj talk to Councillor Adorabelle Amaral Shaikh about her journey as a councillor. The podcast focuses on the reaction of the community and family members, specially focussed on being a South Asian female entering politics. We also talk about her great support system to allow her to serve her community.In the South Asian community the younger generation is not encouraged to pursue a career in politics. The positive reasons about being a councillor are explored, with hopes that more South Asian females enter politics.
