    For the most part,

    Young women, don't think like the average politician

    You've probably noticed this.

    You may share some interests with your dad, admire Bono’s activism, and be inspired by Barack Obama’s election in the US.

    But chances are that your experiences in life, and the concerns and ideas those experiences have shaped, are a few worlds away from the perspective of the average male politician.

    In fact, young people are very distinct in their way of thinking, and young women’s perspectives and priorities often differ from men’s.

    That’s why it matters that your voices are heard, your views represented and your experiences considered.

    Equal Voice has created Experiences for that very reason.
    Learn all about it – and some of the astonishing stories that
    inspired us – right here.

    Tell me more!

    Have you checked out our videos? Were you surprised by how exciting and fascinating the life of a woman in politics can be, and how they all came from different backgrounds? Want to hear more? Like, why did they get involved? What did they have to overcome? What is it really like to be one of the women at the decision table? Did one of the women in our videos particularly inspire YOU? Through our Speakers’ Bureau, you could have them visit your school or group, to tell you more!
