Breaking barriers empowering young women to participate in democratic politics : manual for facilitators
Abstract
In Sierra Leone there are few women in parliament or in senior reaches of government. This manual aims to train at least 100 university students from four tertiary institutions: University of Sierra Leone; Njala University; Bo Campus; Northern Polytechnic and Eastern Polytechnic. Training comprises leadership, political participation, and how to start an advocacy group regarding issues of young women’s political participation and leadership. The content of the manual has been drawn from various training manuals in the 50/50 Group’s “Breaking Barriers: Empowering Women to Participate in Democratic Politics series.”
