Today, young people from across The Bahamas will be sitting in the House of Assembly as a part of Youth in Parliament. We wish all young people who are participating today well, especially our very own Mr. Tayte Adderley (Mount Moriah) and Ms. Shelby Bowe (Killarney).

[Spectrum Politics @SpectrumPol]

This is the first Youth in Parliament to be held entirely in person since 2019.

In light of a spate of national tragedies, the two topics for discussion today are Gender-based violence and Mental Health.
