Looking up at the statues as she walks through downtown Edmonton, (((Paula Kirman))) finds herself surrounded by men.
“In places like the Legislature and city hall, it’s a lot more male dominated in terms of representation of leaders,” Kirman said. “Where women do exist, it’s often in a stereotypical role such as wives or mothers.”
It's something Kirman hopes to change with her new campaign, ‘Completing the Story.'
Kirman organized the (((Edmonton Women’s March))) and is spearheaded the new campaign to continue the push for equality by highlighting the need for more representation of women in public spaces.
The campaign asks people to post photos of statues, plaques, murals, memorials, schools and street names that lack female representation with the hashtag #CompletingTheStory.
