Quote
The opportunity for young women needs to start as early as possible. Where equal access to education systems equips them with the right skills. Support for women at the start of their journey needs to go beyond seeing them as beneficiaries but views and values them as important and skilled problem solvers for some of society's biggest problems. To see social enterprise as an inviting and viable career option that not only provides them with a livelihood but creates new career paths for other women; Where they are supported by like-minded mentors, champions and role models. Where capacity building is accessible and recognises and understands the barriers they face. To be confident and bold, supported by like-minded mentors, champions and role models. Emerging as leaders with a voice that influences and engenders change that tackles the systemic challenges.
