She Leads: Amplifying the Voices of Girls and Young Women

Posted on Apr 12, 2023

Listen to our new episode 

In East Africa, She Leads has been working with partners, Kenya Alliance for Advancement of Children (KAACR), to increase the sustained influence of girls and young women in decision-making for gender-responsive laws and policies. The She Leads program is being implemented in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, and is making a real difference in the lives of girls and young women in the region. 

In Kenya, She Leads has been working with local organizations to empower girls and young women to advocate for their rights and participate in decision-making processes. The program has been especially successful in working with socially excluded and exploited girls and young women, who are often marginalized and excluded from decision-making environments. 

Through its work in Kenya and East Africa, She Leads is helping to create a safer world for all children, free from exploitation and abuse. The program is making a real difference in the lives of girls and young women in the region and is helping to ensure that their voices are heard, and their rights are protected. 

If you care about the welfare of children and want to make a difference, we encourage you to listen to the She Leads episode of ECPAT International’s podcast, Ending the Silence. In this episode, you will hear from experts in the field, activists, survivors, and She Leads members about the challenges they face, the progress they’ve made, and the steps we can all take to protect children and end the global scourge of sexual exploitation. Together, we can create a safer world for all children, and She Leads is leading the way.
