updated: august 2005 Pluralist and independent, this is a federation of six women*s associations whose focus is women*s equality in elected positions.
OBJECTIVE: To help women attain equality in elected offices.

Some statistics: The Senate: 3.4% of its members are women, the National Assembly: 6%, Regional Councils: 12.3%, General Councils: 4.8%, Town Councils: 17.1% of which 5.4% are women mayors.
"Elles aussi" wants to breathe life into women*s candidacies and encourage their growth.
