Impact: Young Women…..gain knowledge about their rights & acquire new skills EMPOWERED to take action Be informed

Impact: Young Women… …identify common challenges & dreams, are inspired, gain collective strength & confidence SPEAK OUT & become ACTIVISTS & LEADERS Be informed Gain confidence

Impact: Young Women… … decide when to get married, when to become a parent, change their career path, talk with their partner TAKE CONTROL of their own lives Be informed Gain confidence Decide for yourself

Impact: Young Women… …negotiate with employer, set up trade unions, engage in CBAs, influence government policies etc. Become CAMPAIGNERS & inspire other young women to join! Be informed Gain confidence Decide for yourself Take action

Impact: Trade Unions Increase in TU membership. DFL rejuvenates TU leadership. Young women’s issues in the gender and TU programmes (e.g. organising). TUs become more appealing to young women. TU use ICT more intensively. DFL builds coalitions on the national, regional and international level.
