How to get involved

“Individually we are one drop, together we are an ocean.”
Ryunosuke Satoro

The Y Factor is about supporting and empowering young people to take action for women’s equality.  Ideas, initiative, a bit of common sense and the desire to do something, big or small, are all it takes to be part of that action. 

The Y Factor can give your ideas and voices a platform, provide a connection to other like-minded young women and men and support learning, the exchange of ideas and campaigns for change.
