Protect Participation. Strengthen Democracy.

Harassment, online abuse, and gender-based intimidation are creating barriers to democratic participation, particularly for women in public life.

This petition calls on City of Kawartha Lakes Council to establish a Civic Participation Working Group to examine these challenges and recommend ways to ensure safe, respectful, and inclusive civic engagement.

Everyone deserves to participate in public life free from harassment and intimidation.

Sign the petition and help build a stronger, more inclusive democracy in Kawartha Lakes  https://jumpinkawarthalakes.ca/online-petitions
