HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS REPORT:

Around the world, young women are ready to be leaders in their communities. Their aspirations and confidence in their abilities are high and they are ambitious to lead in a positive and collaborative way. Despite a body of research reflecting young women’s enthusiasm and drive to get involved in leadership, their participation remains constrained and younger women are largely excluded from decision-making spaces. This position paper covers five major issues: gender norms and bias, female role models and mentors, education, inclusion of boys and men, and space for dialogue.
