Quebec Solidaire has announced that Ruba Ghazal will be their new co-spokesperson for women. This decision was made during the party’s national council meeting on Sunday.
Ghazal, who is currently the only female member of Quebec Solidaire in the National Assembly, will be taking over the role from Manon Massé. Massé, who has been co-spokesperson for women since 2017, will now focus on her role as co-spokesperson for the party as a whole.
Ghazal, who represents the riding of Mercier, has been a vocal advocate for women’s rights and gender equality. She has been a member of Quebec Solidaire since 2014 and was elected to the National Assembly in 2018.
In a statement, Ghazal expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve as co-spokesperson for women. She stated, “I am honored to take on this role and continue the important work of promoting gender equality and fighting for the rights of women in Quebec.”
Quebec Solidaire’s decision to appoint Ghazal as co-spokesperson for women has been met with praise and support from various organizations and individuals. The Federation des femmes du Quebec, a feminist organization, congratulated Ghazal on her new role and expressed their confidence in her ability to represent women’s issues.
Ghazal’s appointment comes at a crucial time, as Quebec Solidaire prepares for the upcoming provincial election in 2022. The party has been gaining momentum and support in recent years, and Ghazal’s leadership as co-spokesperson for women will undoubtedly play a significant role in their campaign.
In her new role, Ghazal will be responsible for advocating for policies and initiatives that promote gender equality and address issues faced by women in Quebec. She will also work closely with Massé and the rest of the party’s leadership to ensure that women’s voices are heard and represented within Quebec Solidaire.
With her passion and dedication to women’s rights, Ruba Ghazal is a strong and fitting choice for co-spokesperson for women in Quebec Solidaire. Her appointment is a step towards greater representation and progress for women in Quebec, and we can expect to see her make a significant impact in her new role.
