Purpose

The project aims to empower women and girls for the advancement of gender equality in their communities. The project addresses key gender equality issues identified as barriers to the empowerment of women and girls and resulting in women being largely under-represented in leadership roles in organizations – of government, civil society and the private sector. To address this gap, the project aims to mobilize women and support them with enhanced knowledge skills and capacity to assume leadership roles at the community level, create opportunities for collaboration with broader movements and provide them with effective tools to influence duty bearers. Men and boys are also engaged in efforts to shift attitudes, behaviours and practices in order to advance gender equality at all levels. The project is implemented in Burkina Faso, Haiti, Kenya, Senegal, and Tanzania, as well as regionally in Anglophone and Francophone Africa, and globally through Equitas’ in-Canada annual International Human Rights Training Program involving participants from developing countries of all continents. Equitas also uses its online community as a key tool to share knowledge, lessons learned and best practices, promoting exchanges and collaboration amongst its alumni worldwide and in each region, as well as providing online training programs, all with a particular focus on advancing gender equality.
