Young Women's Trust is a feminist organisation working to achieve economic justice for young women
Young Women’s Trust offers support to young women aged 18 to 30, who are living on low or no pay and want to build a better future.
We campaign for young women’s equality in the workplace and our research examines what young women’s lives are really like.
Young women are at the centre of the charity’s work: leading, designing and participating.
Young Women’s Trust stands up for equality for young women in the UK. They do this by carrying out policy research, campaigning for change and reaching out to young women across the UK, helping them get skills and opportunities to speak truth to power. They hold women at the heart of what they do and want to get women’s experiences understood by the government.

Our Young women’s advisory panel is a group of 30 young women who have experience of living on low or no pay. They guide the work Young Women’s Trust do by taking part in discussions, interviewing new staff, talking to the media and writing for our blog.
