"Women economic empowerment is an essential asset to achieve gender equality. However, in most countries, worldwide men outnumber women in leadership positions in every sector globally, including business, non-profits, government, education, medicine, the military, and religion (Andrews, 2021). This gender gap, often referred to with the metaphor ""glass ceiling"", represents one of the most critical challenges to achieve gender equity and allow equitable working opportunities to all genders. Given the urgency of achieving gender equity, which encompasses promoting women leadership and including men in the process, the capacity-building project LEO - Leadership is for Everyone was created. The project aims to enhance women's leadership, develop NFE resources for youth workers and young people, promote men's involvement in women's empowerment, and strengthen the synergies between youth work and the labour market.This aim will be achieved through a wide range of single-sex and mixed activities (job-shadowing, internship programme, workshops, e-course, and more) for young women and men. More specifally, the project will:1. Identify young women's challenges in becoming leaders in partner countries and understand how to address them;2. Increase men's involvement in the process of women's empowermentand identify 20 positive masculinity figures to support the project andchallenge traditional sexist stereotypes in their communities;3. Improve the qualifications and competencies of 5 youth workersin each partner country by the end of the first year in order to better supportwomen's leadership: 4. Make it easier for 20 women from each partner country to enter thelabour force by August 2023;5. Provide a better understanding of young women's leadership to partner countries.The main outputs of the project will be the creation of research, methodology for youth workers, e-courses, and a sustainable internship programme for young women with fewer opportunities."
