Girls and Young Women Empowerment Framework
2.12 In a bid to consolidate and strengthen the coordination of several
initiatives that are targeted at protecting and eliminating all forms
of discrimination against the girl child, Government has developed
the first ever Girls and Young Women Empowerment Framework.
It is anchored on five strategic areas of intervention namely:
education, economic empowerment, reproductive health rights,
safety and protection and leadership development. In this regard a
Young Women Desk has been established within the Ministry of
Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises
Development. The desk coordinates all empowerment initiatives
targeted at children and girls with the view of eliminating all forms
of discrimination.
