Equitable Democracy
“You can’t be what you can’t see.”
-Marian Wright Edelman
Regardless of how we feel about politics and government, both play a vital role in our futures, from our education, to our healthcare, to our housing.
Right now, we are facing a trust deficit.
Our politics and government do not reflect us as a population. The Foundations for Tomorrow Awareness to Action report found that only 4% of young Australians have absolute confidence in our current approach to solving global challenges. 34% of young Australians report their confidence level at or below 4/10.
Young women and gender diverse people are less likely to be represented in these institutions, and are less likely to identify as leaders (source: Plan International She Can Lead report, 2017).
Young women and gender diverse persons deserve to have a say in their future, and to influence the world they will inherit. We’re making this happen.
Do you want input from young women or gender diverse people for a policy or issue you’re considering? Get in touch with us today.
