Season II: EP04 - Beyond participation: Young Women Lead!
Programmes are more impactful when young women have their say in the decisions that affect them. Leadership is more than speaking up; it's about having influence through being informed and engaged.

In this episode young women take the lead, as they share and reflect on their leadership journeys.
