How can we ensure that the voices of girls and young women, particularly those from socially excluded and exploited groups, are heard and included in decision-making processes?
In Africa and around the world, girls and young women from socially excluded and exploited groups face numerous challenges when it comes to participating in decision-making processes. In this episode, we're focusing on the progress being made in Kenya by our member organization, Kenya Alliance ACR, as well as members of parliament and survivors.
Join us as we explore the importance of centering the voices of girls and young women in decision-making processes and work together to create a better, more equitable future for all.
