Support for Women of Colour
We create protected space for women with shared lived experience to come together.
All of our programmes are fully inclusive and supportive spaces, however we recognise the intersections at which some women’s identities sit and we create protected space for women with shared lived experience to come together.
Explore how to best prepare yourself as a leader, so you can bring your lived experience to the corridors of power.
“ I have reignited my interest in Scottish politics by joining Elect Her activities and I am much more optimistic about having a parliamentary career. I hope that in the future, I can become a political role model for BAME women across Scotland.”
A note on language: We are committed to creating a space for women for whom racism, prejudice and discrimination based on their ethnicity or religious beliefs may be a barrier in their political journeys. The term ‘Women of Colour’ could be interpreted as presenting women from minority ethnic backgrounds as a monolith and we know this is not the case; ultimately we are using this space to provide support to any woman who would benefit from seeking community with other women from similar intersecting identities and backgrounds.
I’m ready to get involved, where do I start?
If you’re a Woman of Colour and would like to connect with other women from ethnic minority backgrounds as you move forward on your political journey, register your details below to find out about our upcoming events and resources designed specifically for Women of Colour.
