Young Women Lead 2024 is supporting young women to co-design a short report on young women’s democratic wellbeing (the extent to which we have a voice in decisions that affect us) in collaboration with Scottish Parliament.

Join us in Scottish Parliament to be the first to learn about their findings and recommendations following this process. You will also have the opportunity to meet and chat to the young women who have taken part in this research, and celebrate their achievements.

This is primarily for people working to expand democracy or engaging young people politically, and will consist of a 15 minute presentation and networking.

About democratic wellbeing

This topic highlights the importance of young women’s voices being both heard and valued, and supports a process where policies and decisions reflect the diverse experiences and perspectives of young women.

Developing young women’s democratic wellbeing involves:

• dismantling the barriers that limit engagement
• amplifying political agency
• creating inclusive spaces where concerns and aspirations can shape the democratic landscape.
