WHERE ARE THE YOUNG WOMEN IN POLITICS?

January 14th, 2010

With the current political debate taking place on families and marriage it looks like issues close to women will be being discussed in the coming election campaign.

That’s why we at Compass Youth hope we can use the platform to discuss women’s representation in UK politics and beyond as well as ‘women’s issues’ on the political agenda.

All four of our amazing speakers have different areas of interest and expertise so it should make for a really broad meeting and hopefully we should get some ideas for the future too.

Speakers confirmed:

• Emily Thornberry, Labour MP for Islington South and Finsbury
• Dr Rainbow Murray, Politics Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London
• Bellavia Ribeiro, Black Students’ Officer, National Union of Students
• Tulip Siddiq, Labour Party council candidate in Regent’s Park and BAME Officer for Young Labour
