Guest Lis, UK Posted July 25 The first thing that needs to be done is to identify which people are unrepresented and why. Once these groups are identified it is then possible to look at the barriers to their voice being heard and identify how these can be removed. Common barriers are lack of education, lack of status, lack of confidence, lack of belief that they will be able to make a difference, poor health and lack of time because they have to work so hard to survive. Different strategies are needed for different groups to engage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Samuel Woira Posted July 25 I think that We need to utilize all platforms availed to us and the very people who are underrepresented need to be empowered to come up. This is because we may try to fight for equal opportunity for the underrepresented when they are just seated on themselves and don't see the need to join the fight which makes us some times end up achieving less. So the underrepresented need to also equally join in to fight for their rights Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest owori (uganda) Posted July 25 On 7/23/2019 at 10:26 AM, Guest Debbie UK said: Good point but how do we make sure they are mixing in an equal way so that the underrepresented people don't feel they have to keep quiet for their own protection and to fit in? The government should set rules that are in favor of everyone despite their status so that the underrepresnted people feel they are protected and listened to.
