Podcast: Women for Election. Bianca Hartge-Hazelman with Licia Heath

41 min 33 sec | 3 March 2022

Licia Health, WOMEN FOR ELECTION CEO, recently spoke to 41 min 33 sec for their Podcast series EqualizHER.

In this EqualizHER Podcast, Licia Heath is the CEO of Women for Election and she’s on a mission to get more women into politics. Her light bulb moment came after the birth of her first child whilst working in a fast-paced financial services environment. She was exhausted by the work and mental load. Things just didn’t seem fair, and this helped give rise to a purpose to encourage and fearlessly support more women to enter the political arena and start to change policies so that they reflect half of the population.
