Women’s Economic Inclusion program area focuses on breaking barriers to economic participation for young women, particularly in marginalized communities, by providing skills training, access to resources, and advocacy for inclusive policies. In a youth-centered framework, we collaborate with young female entrepreneurs and activists to develop tailored initiatives, such as mentorship networks where youth leaders’ pair with peers to launch micro-enterprises or advocate for gender-responsive budgeting. These programs include digital literacy workshops for young women in rural areas to access online markets, coupled with youth-led advocacy campaigns aiming to eliminate discriminatory hiring practices.

Addressing Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in communities at oil-rich regions, where extractive industries often exacerbate GBV through displacement, economic disparities, and cultural shifts, this program targets prevention and response with a youth lens. We empower young women and girls affected by oil-related conflicts—to lead awareness campaigns, monitoring efforts,           GBV data collection, and peer education sessions on recognizing and reporting GBV. We also support youth-led safe reporting and partnerships with local authorities to enforce protections.

Prevention of Transactional and Survival Sexual Exploitation initiative aims to prevent exploitation driven by poverty, such as sex-for-survival or transactional relationships, by addressing root causes like unemployment and lack of education among youth. Adopting a youth-centered model, we involve young survivors and at-risk peers in designing preventive strategies, including life skills training, financial literacy programs, and alternative livelihood options. Youth-led clubs in schools and communities facilitate discussions on consent, healthy relationships, and economic alternatives, while providing access to vocational training in sectors like tech and agriculture. We integrate digital tools for anonymous reporting and support, tracking progress through youth feedback on reduced exploitation rates and increased self-efficacy.

Psychosocial Support and Safe Spaces for Rape and Early Pregnancy Survivors Centered on healing and reintegration program provides trauma-informed psychosocial support and dedicated safe spaces for young survivors of rape and early pregnancy, recognizing the unique vulnerabilities of adolescents and young adults. We train young peer counselors to facilitate group therapy sessions and one-on-one support. By prioritizing confidentiality and cultural sensitivity, we help survivors rebuild confidence, integrating mental health with community reintegration events.

Human Rights Concerns on Youth Employment and Environmental Protection is a cross-cutting program addressing the intersection of youth employment rights and environmental safeguards, particularly in contexts where exploitation and degradation disproportionately affect young workers. We engage youths in advocacy for fair labor laws, safe working conditions, and sustainable practices, workshops on environmental stewardship, and campaigns for green jobs that protect ecosystems while providing economic opportunities. We support youths in eco-friendly enterprises, like reforestation projects, while lobbying for policies that prevent exploitative labor
