Empowering
Young Women to Lead Change: A Training
Manual
(click title to download)
World YWCA and UNFPA
This manual, conceived by the YWCA and UNFPA,
is a creative training tool designed to put
young women in control of educating and
empowering themselves to take action on key
issues that affect their lives. Designed by a
group of women leaders and activists under
the age of 30 from nine countries, the
modules foster self-determined approaches to
developing leadership skills and awareness of
strengths and rights in seven areas:
HIV/AIDS, sexual and reproductive health,
self esteem and body image, violence against
women, human rights, economic justice and
peace. The manual provides young women with
information and tools to gain insights into
the issues, facilitate training to educate
and mobilize peers, develop advocacy skills
and take concrete action on the issues.
Tested in Belarus, Jamaica, El Salvador,
Lebanon, the Philippines and Zambia, and
available in English, French and Spanish, the
curriculum is fun and flexible, and each
module may be used alone or combined to
create an eight-day leadership development
training.

Making
Waves: How Young Women Can (and Do) Transform
Organizations and
Movements
(click title to download
Association for Women in Development (AWID)In
this paper, Lydia Alpizar and Shamillah
Wilson explain some reasons why young women
are not choosing careers that focus on the
empowerment of women or gender and
development. While the authors provide some
answers to questions on the importance of
involving more young women and what
constrains their involvement in these
movements, they also offer up practical
strategies and case studies to show how
multigenerational organizations and movements
are built.

Act
Now! A Resource Guide for Young Women on
HIV/AIDS
(click title to download)
Sisonke Msimang and Shamilla Wilson, UNIFEM
and AWID
Aimed at young women who are actively
advocating around the issue of gender
equality and HIV/AIDS in their communities,
this manual is based on the thoughts,
opinions, stories and concrete strategies
provided by over 500 women who were
participating in an online discussion that
explored the intersections between youth,
gender and HIV/AIDS; emerging challenges and
successes in HIV/AIDS for young people,
particularly young women; and ways in which
youth can participate in addressing gender
and youth issues in HIV/AIDS programs. In
addition to providing an overview of HIV/AIDS
as a gender issue and highlighting youth and
women's organizations that are active in this
area, the manual provides a useful guide for
planning a workshop for young women on this
topic. It includes notes for the facilitator,
activities and handouts that can be
reproduced for this purpose.

Facing
the Challenge of New Reproductive
Technologies
(click title to download)
Association for Women in Development
(AWID)
This primer is a guide to the current debates
on new reproductive technologies (NRTs), how
they are changing political landscapes, and
their potential effects on women's human
rights. Based on the belief that women's
sexual and reproductive health rights,
including ensuring access to appropriate
reproductive technologies, has been a
cornerstone in the fight for women's human
rights and freedoms, this paper explains why
young women need to be informed about these
technologies, the often-contradictory forces
that are shaping the debate about them and
whether they help or hinder young women's
rights.

From
Combat to Community: Women and Girls of
Sierra Leone
(click title to download)
Women Waging Peace and the Policy
Commission
In October 2000, for the first time in its
history, the United Nations Security Council
acknowledged that women have a key role in
promoting international stability by passing
Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security.
It called on all parties to ensure women's
participation in peace processes, from the
prevention of conflict to negotiations and
post-war reconstruction. The Women Waging
Peace Policy Commission was established to
examine peace processes with a particular
focus on the contributions of women. Drawing
on qualitative field-based research and
quantitative survey data, "From Combat to
Community: Women and Girls of Sierra Leone"
assesses how consideration of gender issues
can improve disarmament, demobilization, and
reintegration (DDR) processes and documents
the contributions of women in official and
civil society-based reintegration
programs.

Domestic
Violence
(click title to download)
Breakthrough
This guide provides essential resources for
teachers, facilitators, and leaders to
conduct a systematic, ongoing educational
process designed to prevent domestic
violence. Designed for young people, the main
objectives of the resource guide are: to
create a dialogue around culture, violence,
vulnerability, and rights; to create an
understanding of domestic violence and of
what can be done to prevent it; and to
encourage a better awareness of the role of
gender and of ideas of masculinity and
femininity in the perpetuation of domestic
violence. It aims to encourage discussion
about domestic violence with both boys and
girls through a participatory process,
focuses on experiential learning and is
structured so that the facilitator guides the
participants through a process of experiences
and activities, reflection and discussion,
often facilitated by supporting audio visual
material. It also encourages responsible
action, problem solving, and negotiating
skills and aims to promote a gender sensitive
approach to relationships, family and
society.

Strategies
and Tools for Working with men and Boys to
End Violence Against Girls, Boys, Women and
Other Men
(click title to download)
UNIFEM & Save The Children
Developed at the end of a three-day workshop
in 2004 on this topic, this report outlines
practical tools for working with boys and men
to combat gender-based violence in the
region, such as promoting positive parenting,
creating support groups for men and boys,
addressing the media, and challenging
discriminatory laws. The workshop also
produced a South Asian work-plan on promoting
partnership with men and boys to end violence
against girls, boys, women and other men.
Participants discussed the idea of starting
up White Ribbon Campaigns-a campaign which
originated in Canada to engage men and boys
in the struggle to end men's violence against
women-in their own countries. They also
decided to incorporate the issue of men's
involvement in ending gender-based violence
into existing campaigns and programs, such as
International Women's Day.
