 It's late afternoon in Aberdeen, but at the city's Tory Academy, four teenage girls are putting in some extra time. They're preparing for a visit to the Scottish Parliament, where they'll be part of a major event which bears the theme, inspiring young women. I'm really excited to be honest and I really want to get experience and just meet new people and I'm quite curious as to what they think about this issue. These young women will be among 128 from all over Scotland taking part in the event on Monday March the 23rd and they've been getting updated by staff from the Scottish Parliament on what the day involves. Meeting and learning from senior female politicians and public figures and encouragement to grasp their potential. The inspiring young women event is the brainchild of the Scottish Parliament's presiding officer, the right honourable Trisha Marwick MSP. What we hope to do with the young women who are coming is to speak to them, to inspire them, but more importantly than that, to find out what the barriers are to young women achieving, whether that be sexism, whether that be body image, whether that be confidence, whether that be leadership skills. All of these things are barriers to young women getting ahead. To work like this, it's hoped that young women will reflect on their public profile. I'm interested in politics due to the fact that they're making huge decisions on our behalf for my future and I feel that it's important that we have a say in that. I personally feel that young women are underrepresented in everyday life. I don't feel like our views are being heard. We don't have a fair share on what's on possible future. This is about young women getting the best out of the day. There is nothing that need concern them. We're going to have a lot of fun. I'm certainly going to have a lot of fun and I know that they'll have fun too.
