RURAL women are having their say in parliament after joining the Young Women Lead Committee. Alexandra Stevens, Jane Morrison and Esme Leitch, from Mull, Ballachulish and Duror respectively said the programme has made them feel more empowered.
The purpose of the programme is to educate and promote the role of women in Scottish politics.
Speaking about joining, Alexandra Stevens said: ‘For young women to feel empowered to speak up, and be listened to when they do, is fundamental to the drive to retain young people in rural and island communities.’
