[Special Episode] She Leads: Including girls and young women in decision-making
Description
How can we ensure that the voices of girls and young women, particularly those from socially excluded and exploited groups, are heard and included in decision-making processes?
In our new podcast episode on a joint programme called She Leads, we talk to Linda Barry, Willy Buloso, and Joy Katunge and find out why having equal access to health, education, economic participation, and political decision-making power prevents violence against women and girls.

She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner.
The She Leads consortium brings together child rights organisations, feminist/women’s rights organisations, and GYW-led groups and aims to increase the sustained influence of girls and young women (GYW) on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms in formal and informal institutions
