This project empowers young women to lead, speak up, and take action on issues that matter to them locally and globally. Through international exchange of staff and volunteers, it builds stronger organisations, supports girls’ leadership, and connects guiding and scouting movements across countries. The project responds to key concerns raised by girls themselves: gender inequality and climate change.
