About We Lead
We Lead is an inspiring, innovative and powerful program that aims to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRH-R) of young women. It focuses on four specific groups of young women: those living with HIV, those with disabilities, sexual minorities, and those affected by displacement.
Objectives of the guide
The Feminist Leadership Guide aims to:
- Provide young and emerging leaders with practical tools and principles for leading with a feminist perspective.
- Integrate input from diverse stakeholders, including consortium partners, rightsholders, COAs and feminist leaders.
- Ensure that the guide reflects the intersectional experiences and realities of different rightsholder groups, including marginalized communities.
- Promote sustainability by embedding feminist leadership principles in future programming.
Expected outcomes
- Comprehensive Feminist Leadership Guide: A well-researched and participatory leadership guide that empowers young and emerging leaders to lead using feminist principles. We anticipate that the final product will be available as both a written PDF guidebook and in audio-visual format for greater engagement, leveraging our existing We Speak Podcast platform.
- Diverse perspectives integrated: Voices from rightsholders, COAs, feminist leaders, and consortium partners will shape this guide which should be reflective of real-world challenges and opportunities in leadership.
- Sustainability and program legacy: The guide will serve as a lasting legacy of the We Lead program’s commitment to feminist leadership and as a tool for future generations of leaders.
