as citizens
At the beginning of Red:GLOW – the youth workers and organisations worked together to further develop our understanding of the challenges we were seeing young women face, and how we saw that our work was addressing them. The further we explored these intersectional challenges and reflected on our work with young women, the more complex we realised that the issues facing them were.
This report explores the challenges facing young women in Europe today and makes recommendations to improve the support available to them through youth work. Our recommendations are broad, taking into consideration the variance across Europe in gender inequality and how the different manifestations are affected by multiple disadvantages.
You can download the report in six different European languages below:
