  • P Project/Program

? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

Women Win highlights that peer leadership and a rights-based approach are important aspects of programmes aiming to economically empower adolescent girls. Organisations that place peer leadership at the centre of their programmes will provide a pathway for adolescent girls and young women to gain valuable leadership and transferable life and livelihood skills, achieve economic empowerment and, ultimately, exercise their rights. Women Win believes these Leadership and Economic Empowerment Pathways (LEEP) can be specifically and intentionally integrated into adolescent girls’ sport programme design.
