Project Description

SHE’s GREAT! was a holistic community-based gender responsive program that prepared youth (ages 13–20) to identify and transform gender stereotypes and promote inclusive communities where students were equipped with the networks, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Design, and Math (STEAM) training, confidence, and leadership skills to fully participate in their communities and careers. The program aimed to contribute to the resilience of girls and boys to restrictive gender norms affecting their life choices and opportunities. An enabling environment was cultivated in schools or community-based organisations and communities to foster equal collaboration amongst girls and boys.
