Women Inclusion in leadership

Women Inclusion in leadership

INTRODUCTION

The project supported by LM International focuses on building the leadership capacity of women leaders, while also addressing miscon- ceptions about gender equality by engaging men in workshops. Through training in areas such as self-awareness, leadership skills, resource mobilization, lobbying, and negotiation, the project aims to equip women with the tools to lead effectively and share their knowl- edge with others. Additionally, workshops with men aims at demystifying gender misconceptions and promote a more collaborative approach to leadership.

2024 Outcomes:

The project conducted several successful workshops, empowering women leaders with essential skills for self-awareness, leadership, and resource mobilization. Furthermore, the inclusion of men in the workshops has led to greater understanding and collaboration between men and women, breaking down stereotypes and fostering mutual respect.

Networking meetings between women leaders from various churches have also encouraged knowledge sharing, helping these leaders grow in confidence and take more initiative in their roles. This initiative has created a supportive network of empowered women, who are influencing change in their communities and churches, with men also playing a crucial role in challenging gender biases.
