The Young Labor Women's Network believes the future looks bright for young women in politics. The Labor Government has successfully delivered Australia's first female Prime Minister and Australia's first female Governor-General. Looking to our states, we see Premier Anna Bligh as Australia’s first female to be elected as Premier and in NSW we have our first female Premier Kristina Keneally and Deputy Premier Carmel Tebbutt under Labor Governments. For women, it is an acknowledgement of what we have been saying for centuries.

Women are up to the task and can tackle political life like the best of them. The representation of women in Cabinet, ministries or as parliamentary secretaries ensures that women are able to bring something different to the governing table.
But there is still more to do. Young Labor aims to work towards a positive future for all women in all walks in life such as politics, business and the community.
The YLWN involves itself in the annual International Women’s Day celebrations, as part of the global campaign for equal rights. We have also participated in the “Womens Rights at Work” campaign Fair Wear campaign and have worked with numerous women's groups in the community.
