According to the Gender Equality Index 2017 Greece ranks last in EU28. The pay gap for equal work is high, women’s access to decision-making centers is limited, their access to the labor market is lower than men’s & is realized under worse terms. Responsibilities related to household & family care disproportionately burden women. Violence against women is a problem across Europe. The project involves multi-faceted empowerment of young women through training & capacity building leading to greater participation, decision-making power & transformative action in order to take full control of their lives in relation to their economic/resource base, the public/political arena allowed to them by society, the balance between work – family – personal life,  their health & wellbeing, their equal rights in the labor market & in all life sectors.

 

177 female students will be trained as leaders & will organize within 2 years a set of empowerment seminars for 50 young women each, thus forming a nationwide network of 9,000 18-35 year-old women (5% from remote areas) who will participate in holistic women’s empowerment activities in 12 cities around Greece. 25 female facilitators with strong empowerment skills will advise & coordinate them at regional level.

 

All training will be blended (live & e-learning). Live teleconference with female mentors will be provided during the seminars. Videos of inspiring positive female models will be created & communicated to 35,000 women of all ages. Awareness & empowerment of 4,000 girls & 4,000 boys aged 12-18 will be raised in schools. The Lambrakis Foundation is responsible for the creation & implementation of a sustainable model of empowerment & advocacy, the empowerment of women (health excluded), the project’s organization & management, the overall scientific framework & implementation and the communication of the project. Mission ANTHROPOS is responsible for designing & implementing the empowerment & scientific guidance on health issues.
