  • New research reveals girls and young women have less interest in politics and policy careers

    New research by Raise Our Voice Australia finds that young women and gender diverse people are less likely to aspire to political and government careers due to lower likelihood to identify as a leader, lack of role models, and low confidence in their qualifications.

  • Young people are politically engaged, and doing politics differently

    A new report released by the Global Institute of Women’s Leadership, supported by Raise Our Voice Australia, finds that young politically engaged Australians care passionately about key issues, but don’t feel represented or listened to by our political leaders.

  • Young women are watching, and they're listening. What they're hearing matters.

    Research by Raise Our Voice Australia in partnership with The Body Shop shows young women and gender diverse people are less likely to engage in political spaces as a result of media reporting over the last 12 months.
