(歐巴桑聯盟有大部份的黨員來自台灣親子共學團的家庭,是一個由90%女性組成,成員背景卻十分多元 的政黨,成員當中有幾位單親,我們有教師、有家庭主婦及教育工作者,有高中畢業,也有康乃爾的碩博 士,也有來自勞工家庭的候選人,也有聽障者。

(「政治不該是阻擋人民的高牆,人民應有公平參政權」,當時我們就有感於女性想要參政所受到的社會 阻礙遠高於男性,因此一支全由女性參選的政治團體,由此而生。

(2018年這些媽媽們以無黨身份參加縣市議員選舉,在沒有任何財團的支持及任何行銷資源下,以小額募 款方式募得388萬的保證金。

最後這場選舉我們沒有任何人選上,在全台拿下了8萬多張的選票,最高票得 票是一萬三千多票,最高得票率是6%。

但超過七成的候選人拿回了選舉保證金。

(結語:小黨的經營非常不容易,期待政府制度面向,能在女性政治培力的資源上,多給小黨及小民支 持,真正落實女性參政平權、多元的聲音得以對話,才是民主深化的重要基礎。

我們非常努力,而面對生 活的現實也的確相當不容易,在荊棘中期待能為台灣多元的女性參政,慢慢走出一條路。
