Chandra Pasma combines her love of learning and a commitment to justice in her work as a policy analyst with CPJ (Citizens for Public Justice). CPJ is a national, non-partisan organization that promotes justice in Canadian public affairs.

Pasma has researched and written about topics such as Poverty, Child Poverty, Taxation and Federalism in Canada.

Before joining CPJ, she worked in Canadian politics and for an NGO devoted to federalism. She also has experience volunteering on justice related issues at church, school and with community groups.

Pasma has an MA in French from Bowling Green State University in Ohio and an MA in political science from Carleton University. Her research for both degrees focused on women’s electoral representation, and Pasma is passionate about increasing women’s opportunities for electoral success, as well as their full equality in all aspects of life.
