The Women Par­lia­men­tar­i­ans of Trinidad and To­ba­go, WPTT, has opened ap­pli­ca­tions for Co­hort Three of its Young Women Em­pow­ered to Serve, YES, Lead­er­ship Pro­gramme 2026.

WPTT is a non-prof­it or­gan­i­sa­tion es­tab­lished to sup­port and em­pow­er past, present and fu­ture women par­lia­men­tar­i­ans and to re­move so­cio-eco­nom­ic, cul­tur­al and po­lit­i­cal bar­ri­ers to the ef­fec­tive par­tic­i­pa­tion of women in Par­lia­ment and oth­er de­ci­sion-mak­ing spaces.

Car­olyn Seep­er­sad Bachan, Projects and Pro­grammes Of­fi­cer, said the or­gan­i­sa­tion emerged from the need to in­crease women’s rep­re­sen­ta­tion in po­lit­i­cal lead­er­ship.
