All too often, women’s voices can go unheard. At People’ Voice Media, we have been working with a women’s group who form part of Inspiring Change Manchester and for the past few months, since the autumn we have been helping the group to use storytelling and Community Reporting practices to dig a bit deeper, find out more and explore the question; ‘What Matters to Women?’

The insight stories that were gathered by the group touched upon many different aspects of life as a woman and following the Community Reporter training, we worked together to explore the key themes and topics through sense-making sessions and in order to discover what were the aspects that mattered the most to those taking part. 

As part of a celebratory event at Christmas, we helped the group to put together an edited video which captures some of these women’s thoughts and experiences and with International Women’s Day coming up on 8th March, we don’t think there’s been a better time to share it wider. 

We encourage everyone to join in the conversation by considering the question; ‘What Matters to Women?’
