Katie and Hannah-Ruth are Girlguiding UK Advocates, and their aim is to seek change to improve all girls’ lives. The advocate panel gives girls a platform to use their voices and seek change at the highest levels. They talk to MPs and other politicians, act as media spokespeople for Girlguiding, and speak at many types of events.

They discuss issues that matter to them and their peers, focussing on body confidence, the representation of girls and women in media and politics, education, violence against women and girls, and young people’s mental health. That’s quite a list!

We caught up with Katie and Hannah-Ruth to hear a little bit about their passions, their experiences as an advocate, and using their voice!
