Ffion-Hâfwas a Member of the first Welsh Youth
Parliament from 2018 to 2021.
The following was her candidate
statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:
My Key Issues are:
Body Shaming
Women’s Rights
LGBTQ+ Rights
My name is Ffion-Hâf and I’m fifteen.
I’m a Disney nerd, Hufflepuff, feminist and ‘curvy’ girl with a lot of opinions
and drive for equality. I have been on school councils a couple of times and am
an active member of the anti-racism and islamaphobia committee, feminism
committee and LGBTQ+ rights committee. In all of these roles I have been
authoritative, shared my opinions, thought of solutions and helped make a
difference. I am also confident by nature and work well in a group therefore I
will be a great addition to the Parliament.
Despite all of this, above all
I am normal. I’m not going to sell myself as super human as I’m not, or the
best as there’s always someone better but I am normal and I am like you. Like
you there are problems and inequalities that I face everyday and like you I
wish there was something we could do about it. But you know what? There is. If
you vote for me I promise I will do everything to fight your corner and
represent your opinion. I will not sit in a corner and be silenced. I will be
heard and so will you.
