We co-design our research and reports with young women and girls from the outset, from concept to delivery.
We conduct innovative, evidence-based and young women-led research to ensure that policy teams and decision-makers have the necessary knowledge and gender-disaggregated data to inform actions and recommendations on implementing feminist policies, services and practices. Our research is guided by the young women that we work with and aims to address the intersecting root causes of inequality and discrimination by amplifying underrepresented voices and redistributing power in communities through participatory and peer research.
Our Research and Policy team works closely with young women and girls to ensure our evidence-based research is rooted in lived experience.
In 2022–2023, our Status of Young Women in Scotland report explored young women and people of marginalised genders’* experiences of accessing healthcare in Scotland. We had nearly 900 responses to the survey, who shared their experiences.
