Young Women’s Empowerment Project

Girls do what they have to do to survive. We listen. We’ve been there.

Popular Education and Skill Building Workshops

Popular education is more than making sure that everyone participates in workshops. Activists for decades have been using popular education practice to work together as educators and learners to open up problems and ask critical questions like: who benefits, why is it this way and what can be done to change the systems that affect us?

Our workshops on the sex trade with girls offer practical information like on myths and realities but mostly we are engaged in a process with young people across the city to question why the sex trade exists, why girls are involved and what can be done about it?

Our skill building workshops offer training to girls inside our project to improve their knowledge and abilities to take on leadership. We also offer workshops to organizations and collaboratives that want to improve their ability to work with girls and young women impacted by the sex trade.
