Ffion-Hâf Davies

Ffion-Hâf  was 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.
