Women’s Voices – Front & Centre
Fiona and Marlene sit down with guest Jacqui Jensen to explore how we can reconnect women with politics — wherever they are. From local communities to the national stage, we discuss why women’s voices must be at the heart of political decision-making and how inclusive conversations can drive real change and shape our nation.
Jacqui lends her skills and enthusiasm to Believe in Scotland, and to Women for Indy. And she was at the Perth Yes Hub at their last event promoting the i-Switch Campaign. And probably more that we don’t know about! Certainly we keep bumping into her at Yes meetings across the central belt.
Together, we unpack what might leave women feeling disengaged, share practical ways to reach out across divides, and highlight the power of more local democracy in shaping policies that truly reflect women’s lives.
If you care about women in politics, grassroots activism, and ensuring female voices are front and centre in our national dialogue, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in to discover how we can build a more equal, engaged, and representative democracy — one conversation at a time
