Advocates

'I strive towards a better world every day. I am especially passionate about supporting women’s education: campaigning for diverse, accessible opportunities, empowering girls to pursue STEM careers, and advocating for equal pay in the workforce. I also love speaking about body image and mental health. I am keen to advocate for change with intersectionality at the forefront of conversation.'

'I am passionate about making meaningful change, particularly in challenging sexism and misogyny wherever they appear. I believe in equality, opportunity, and creating spaces where every young woman and girl feels valued, safe and empowered. One of my greatest passions is increasing access to sport for girls from all backgrounds. I am dedicated to breaking down social, cultural and systemic obstacles that prevent girls from participating, leading and thriving in sport.'

'I am passionate about women’s rights and equality, and I want to amplify girls' voices across the UK, helping to create safer spaces for girls to be themselves. I am particularly interested in ending violence against women and girls (especially in Ulster), as well as the effect of AI on young women and girls. One of my favourite things about Girlguiding is guide camps at Lorne Estate.'

'I have always been passionate about empowering girls everywhere and ensuring their voices are truly heard. I believe no one should be overlooked because of their race or background. I’m also committed to breaking gender stereotypes and standing up for equal rights for everyone.'

'I believe young people deserve to be actively involved in shaping the decisions that affect their lives, not simply consulted as an afterthought. Meaningful change happens when governments genuinely listen to those most impacted by social and political challenges and to those with lived experience. I am advocating for youth voice in decision-making spaces, preventing period poverty, and helping to build a community where every perspective is respected, valued and empowered to influence real change.'

'As a queer person myself, I am extremely passionate about making sure young LGBTQ+ voices are heard and their experiences are taken seriously. It’s important to me that all girls everywhere can feel safe and supported and are free to express their true selves - especially trans girls and young women.'

'I am extremely dedicated to giving girls and women voices where they may not have them. I am also very passionate about talking about violence against women and girls, and racism faced by women and girls across the UK. Ultimately, my goal is to change the world in the ways that I can. I want to help create a world where women don’t have to think twice before going out, hold their keys “just in case”, or be taught to change the way they act.'

'I am really passionate about making sure that girls of all ages and backgrounds get the support that they need to make change in our world. In particular, I am interested in ensuring that girls and young women get good and reliable mental health support. I want to make sure that all girls' voices are heard and represented, as well as helping to create a world where every girl is supported, listened to, and given the chance to make their aspirations a reality.'

'I'm passionate about speaking out for people who haven't been, aren't, and won't be able to. I want to make the world a better place and safer place for everybody to be their true self and be confident about it. I'm particularly interested in the gender pain gap, period poverty, education of female anatomy, child poverty and its effect on education, and freedom, and equality of religion.'

'I am passionate about engaging girls and young women to have a say on issues that matter to them. I want to ensure all girls feel empowered to do what they want to, no matter the challenges they face. I am particularly interested in advocating for deaf girls and girls from lower socio-economic backgrounds, to ensure all girls have a safe space and a voice within decisions made for them.'

'I am passionate about equal rights and making the world a fair place for people with disabilities. I want to advocate to make sure education is accessible and protected for all girls. Discrimination has no place in our society, everyone deserves to feel safe and included!'

'I am very passionate about making change to the lives of young women from across the UK. I care about intersectionality and ensuring that all voices and perspectives, even those that are not my own, are heard and represented when discussing issues like ending period poverty and educational access. I also care a lot about the representation of women of colour, ensuring their voices are heard when decisions are being made, and helping to end their historical marginalisation in politics.'

'I believe it is essential to use my voice to create positive change for girls everywhere. As a Girlguiding advocate, my mission is to bring diverse perspectives into the spaces where decisions are made and to ensure that policies truly reflect the experiences and needs of all girls. I am especially committed to amplifying the voices of girls and women of colour, making sure that racial inequality is recognised and prioritised with the same urgency as every other issue affecting young people today.'

'I am passionate about promoting equality and ensuring the rights of girls and women are protected so they feel safe. Feeling safe should be a basic right. I also believe that there should be better mental health support for young people, as it is essential to help girls face pressure that may impact their wellbeing. As an advocate, I want to help create change, so all girls have equal opportunities, feel protected, and have access to the support they need.'
