The Women’s Voice and Leadership Programme supports local and regional women’s organizations and networks that are working to promote women’s rights, and advance women’s empowerment and gender equality in developing countries. This is done by supporting their activities, building their institutional capacity, and promoting network and alliance-building. The project partners with NETRIGHT as an organizational development partner.
The project since its inception has worked to promote a vibrant feminist network with well-informed membership engaging policy spaces at all levels to demand gendered reforms to strengthen the advancement of women and girls’ fundamental human rights in Ghana.
With its role as a network partner, NETRIGHT through the Women’s Voice and Leadership (WVL) programme has worked to strengthen its governance structures, the Secretariat and capacity of its members and other women’s rights organisations (WROs). In addition, NETRIGHT continues to provide leadership and provides national collective platforms to enhance women’s voices in policy spaces, building capacity and providing opportunities for young feminists to promote young feminist leadership, interrogating toxic gender narratives, challenging the status quo, and tackling systemic barriers to promote gender transformative reforms.
The project has led to an increased activism among the members of NETRIGHT and the women’s movement as a whole due to joint interventions facilitated by the network such as the national feminist forum among others.
The project is implemented by Plan International with funding support from Global Affairs Canada.
