Gender Issues and Youth in Europe

When we mention poverty we think about low income, when it is actually much more under neat
it. It is also a lack of power, and more important, a lack of choice. The reality says that unequal
power relations are present everywhere with no matter if it is about rich or poor country and
they are based on gender, class, age, ethnicity, and disability. But above all, gender based
discriminations, dominate them all and create double oppression for already many women and
girls and therefore they end up as poorest of the poor.
In order for changes to be made, seminar will give opportunity for all the partners and their
representatives to share different tools, methods and knowledge on they work fighting gender
based discriminations and how they raise the awareness for the importance of women’s rights
being at the forefront of the fight against poverty.

The participants together with their organizations during the seminar will be able to
share their workshops for empowering fighters for women’s rights and make a wave of
challenging the old behavior of violence against women with having youth participation
as a key motivation.
