Black History Month Reception 2007 |

"Making Democracy More Representative, Making Our Communities Stronger”
The annual reception, hosted by the Ministers for Women and Equality, Harriet Harman and Barbara Follett, celebrated the achievements and contributions of ethnic minority women in the UK, with a focus on public life.
In her key note speech, Harriet Harman called for more ethnic minority women to take up decision-making positions. Ethnic minority women currently make up less than one per cent of councillors, despite the fact they make up 4.6 per cent of the population. Click here to see Harriet Harman's speech.
Also speaking at the event were Baroness Uddin, the first Muslim woman in the House of Lords, and Cllr Mary Foulkes of Southwark Council.
