We are the driving force that motivates and sets precedence to anchor Feminist leadership. We lead in creating spaces through unconventional feminist platforms to embrace and collaborate with embryonic groups.
We center the themes “Voice, Power, and Influence” to amplify the collective actions of AGYW in their different areas of engagement. We highlight the need for shifting narratives guided by feminist power analysis and challenge societal norms that render AGYW as powerless and deny them the opportunity to enjoy and fully exercise their rights.
Our mission has evolved over time, from the initial goal of breaking the barriers preventing young women from leading lives of equality to nurturing adolescent girls and young women’s leadership to address those barriers.
We create spaces for feminist conversations and open new frontiers for AGYW engagement in policy processes. We’ve evolved from information sharing and networking to becoming a hub where AGYW can access information and organize for action depending on what their call for advocacy is. We’ve also broadened our scope of analysis and action to include organizational support for grassroots feminist groups and movements led by young feminists and girl-led initiatives.
YWLI creates spaces for co-creation with young feminists while at the same time engaging them through a deep understanding of feminist organizing. We challenge conventional, patriarchal structures to build new ways of thinking about AGYW’s role in leadership, organizing, living, and knowledge creation. We do this through the creation of unconventional feminist spaces that encourage learning, inquiry, participation, and fun.
