Allow us to introduce ourselves

TYW-an organisation of young women finding their voices.

Aware that critical issues faced by young women includes inadequate access to the experience of others, limited access to the decision making spaces and lack of capacity building trainings.  Under the onslaught of numerous challenges- gender based violence, HIV/AIDS, lack of full enjoyment of sexual and reproductive health and rights, it is the empowerment and participation of young women that will address these issues.           

TYW aims to address these issues affecting young women by building their skills, strengthening their voices to create more impact and support to achieve women’s rights. There is the need to create   the space to empower and uplift young women and to educate others and provide an enlightened leadership to meet the complex challenges of young women.

As we assert ourselves as young female leaders, we draw inspiration from women leaders who had fight for women’s rights and made it possible for us to assert our rights.  We salute our She-roes.

 We reaffirm our commitment to respect and defend the rights of all young women. We claim the right to speak for ourselves as young female leaders.
