The Young Women’s Movement, Scotland’s national organisation for young women and girls’ leadership and rights, is seeking nominations for its annual 30 Under 30 list. 

The list was established in 2016 to address the lack of diverse representation on other 30 Under 30 lists. It seeks to celebrate young women, girls and non-binary people in Scotland who are making change in their lives, communities or in society. Each year since its launch, the list has showcased some of Scotland’s most inspiring young artists, activists, carers, volunteers and trail-blazers from across the country. 

This year’s successful nominees will form the eleventh cohort to appear on The Young Women’s Movement’s 30 Under 30 list. Last year’s list included Laura Webster, editor at The National; Kaydi Scottsville, a 19 year old charity CEO from Livingston; Favour Agbontaen, a delegate for UN Women UK from Renfrewshire; alongside artists, campaigners, journalists and community champions.  

Jenni Snell, CEO of The Young Women’s Movement, said: ‘In a climate of rising misogyny online and offline, 30 Under 30 is a much needed opportunity to celebrate and recognise young women’s achievements and the positive impact they have. Young women are leading change across Scotland – within their own lives and communities, as well as at a national level.” 

Nominations can be submitted until Monday 8th June at youngwomenscot.org/30Under30, where you can find more information about the list. The Young Women’s Movement also accepts self-nominations, and is hoping to see stories from a wide range of age groups, parts of Scotland and areas of life.
