Wecho: the echo of mountain women's European campa

Wecho: the echo of mountain women's European campaign has begun! 🙋‍♀️

Wecho aims to give voice to mountain women throughout Europe in order to strengthen their impact on public interest decisions and highlight how important it is to include a gender perspective in local and community-level policies. All the stories and testimonies collected will be returned to the EU and will be shared on Nuvolar, the digital archive of contemporary history of Fondazione Nuto Revelli.

Until 8 December 2021, you can share your story as a mountain woman and invite your sisters and friends to do the same.

How? Go to www.wecho.eu/en/ and fill out/read more!

Results of our leadership survey ☑️ STRUCTURAL

Results of our leadership survey ☑️ STRUCTURAL BARRIERS 📄

Structural barriers arise due to the way things are organised, for example when it comes to income, employment and education. This often makes patterns that favour some groups more than others, and our survey shows that this is a barrier to women's leadership.

Awareness of the different types of barriers shown in these word clouds can help us work together for change! 🤝

Results of our leadership survey ☑️ CULTURAL BARRIERS 👩‍🎓

In this word cloud you see the cultural barriers to women’s leadership that our European YWCA members told about in the Erasmus Plus SHINE survey. Traditional and patriarchal expectations of women were some of the barriers they told about.

Together we can help each other overcome these barriers and lead the way! 👊

Meet the last of our six board members: Rebekka! 👋 We have a lot of plans and ideas for the coming years and hope to see a lot of you face to face soon. Then you will most likely run into Rebekka, who enjoys planning and organizing events and projects, one of the many skills that we are happy she brings to the board. 👏#womenleader #ywcaleaders
