This short briefing paper is the first of a two-part series that provides an opportunity for the ending violence against women and girls sector to explore working with young women as survivors, activists, advocates, and agents of
change.

This first paper asks VAWG organisations to focus their attention on the current ways in which our services are designed and ‘provided’ for young women. The briefing also asks whether young women practitioners within our organisations are at the forefront of governance, strategy, infrastructure, and service provision design and delivery, and if so, then in what ways? This briefing will offer a contextual analysis of Purple Drum’s work with and by young women, and will also highlight some considerations for organisations to implement in their improvements towards best practice.
