South Africa needs more young people to rise to the challenge of designing the future we want to live in. But equally it needs non-youth actors – parents, NGOs, policymakers, politicians and everyday citizens – to ask how they can support and promote youth leadership and activism.

A set of six workshops, the first of their kind in Suffolk, will help young women use their voice and build up confidence to stand up for what they believe in.
Suffolk Rape Crisis has launched a Young Women’s Activism Programme, a fully-funded course for women aged 17 to 20 to provide an introduction to feminism and an awareness of the issues women face in this county.
Isabelle Booth, helpline and volunteer co-ordinator organiser of Reclaim The Night Ipswich said: Suffolk Rape Crisis is so excited to announce our brand new programme for young women.
