Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and therefore also half of its potential. But still gender inequalities persist everywhere in the world and stagnate social progress. Women continue to be underrepresented at all levels of political leadership. Across the globe, women and girls perform a disproportionate share of unpaid domestic work. Inequalities faced by girls begin right at birth and follow them all their lives. In some countries, girls are deprived from access to health care services or proper nutrition, leading to a higher mortality rate. Disadvantages in education translate into lack of skills and limited opportunities to access the labor market. Women’s and girls’ empowerment is essential to expand economic growth and promote social development. The Training Course "SIGMA - Strengthening Gender Mainstreaming in Youth Work” gathered 32 youth workers and youth educators from the European Union Member States (the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, and Romania) and non-EU Neighboring countries (Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine). The Training Course aimed at building capacities of youth workers and youth educators in addressing gender issues and mainstreaming gender into the policies and activities of partner organizations. Additionally, the project aimed at incorporating gender-sensitive approaches to their work with young people and the youth work provided by their organizations. The Objectives of the Training Course were the following: A. To raise awareness of 32 youth workers and youth educators on gender mainstreaming; B. To provide 32 youth workers and youth educators with knowledge on gender equality, equality feminism, feminist movements and ideologies; C. To equip participants with knowledge, techniques and tools, which can improve gender sensitivity of their work with young people and inclusiveness of their organizations; D. To raise the awareness of youth workers and youth educators on the importance of true comprehension of gender equality and promotion of equality among young people; E. To improve international cooperation between youth workers from the partner organizations and facilitate networking; F. To promote development of new partnerships and projects on gender equality within Erasmus+ Programme. In the long term, by implementing the project we wanted to achieve an individual and collective transformation of youth workers towards gender equality by raising awareness and encouraging learning, knowledge-building and skills development, so the project could help targeted youth workers to understand the role that gender plays in their daily and professional lives. This training was a part and parcel of delivering our commitments to equal human rights for all. Regardless of where you live, gender equality is a fundamental human right. Advancing gender equality is critical to all areas of a healthy society, from reducing poverty to promoting the health, education, protection and the well-being of girls and boys. In the case of gender equality education among young people, it is very important to allow youth workers to feel and reflect on the influence of gender and gender roles, by giving them an opportunity to discuss, debate and learn more about issues that often remain unrevealed. This is why we have implemented this Training Course.
