Our research highlights the real experiences of young women and the economic injustice they face. They are at the centre of our research, trained as peer researchers and telling young women's stories.
Our Research Centre was launched in 2021.
Our aim is to build a unique evidence base on young women’s lives to call for the change needed to achieve a more equal world of work and raise young women’s incomes.
Peer research empowers people with lived experience to lead and conduct research.
In this video, we meet Peer Researchers Amy, Mehvash and Maria. They talk about how taking a peer research approach helps us learn more than we would in a traditional research interview.
We train young women and people of marginalised genders as peer researchers who shape and conduct research with other young women to understand their experiences and the challenges they face. Our peer researchers are at the heart of all our research and are always paid fairly for their time.
As experts on their own experience, we believe that empowering them to conduct the research on issues that concern them is crucial to creating meaningful research which catalyses change.
