YWCA Ireland member Shalom participated in the National Women's Council Youth Advisory Panel last Saturday. Shalom shares more:
'I had the pleasure of attending the National Women’s Council Youth Advisory Panel on Saturday, and it was an incredibly inspiring day. We heard from a range of women involved in politics who shared their experiences and insights into public life.
A strong and ongoing theme throughout the day was resilience — the determination it takes not only to enter politics, but to remain, grow, and lead within it. Hearing these stories was both motivating and a powerful reminder of why representation matters.
The National Women’s Council continues to do vital work encouraging more women to step into politics while also supporting them to stay and thrive once they’re there.'
