Ep 56: Claim that Seat! With Nancy Siatwiko

Youth activist Nancy Siatwiko on why young Zambians are done waiting for permission to lead. Host Malemi talks with her about locked-out candidates, young women in politics, and using social media to organize.

Guest: Nancy Siatwiko, Movement Manager for Youth for Parliament and the first female student president of Cavendish University Zambia. Twice locked out of party adoption for being young and female, she now helps other young people contest.

Takeaways

  1. Youth for Parliament exists because young people kept getting locked out. It pushes the youth agenda across party lines, and with youth at 53% of Zambia's voters, representation is just math.
  2. If you're not given the seat, take one. The demand is inclusion at every level, based on merit, not age.
  3. Young women face an extra wall of patriarchy and smears. But the shift is real, and social media now lets young people back each other across any distance.
