The Women’s Shadow Parliament is governed by a steering committee of 13 women leaders divided into 3 sections, the executive, Governing council representing each province and youth representatives who act as the executive arm of the organization. The WSP has a small secretariat of 7 volunteers who manage the day-to-day activities of the Shadow Parliament under the leadership of the executive director, clerk to the national assembly.
