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! 👊

Act now: end child labour!
Almost one in ten of all children worldwide are in child labour. While the number of children in child labour has declined by 94 million since 2000, the rate of reduction slowed by two-thirds in recent years. Target 8.7 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals calls for an end to child labour in all its forms by 2025. How can the world community get firmly on track toward eliminating child labour?

Meet the treasurer: Melody! 👋
As we do not have any hired staff in the European YWCA, the treasurer has an important job looking after the economy.
Melody chose to take on a task she had not done before, trusting herself and her own abilities to learn new things, and we applaud her for this and her good work 👏👏
