Gender & Intersectionality: Recommendations & Call for Support from Action Learning Group Members

gender and intersectionality support

YIELD Hub’s first Action Learning Cycle addressed the gender discrimination and exclusion experienced by young women and gender-diverse youth leaders in the Adolescent and Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (AYSRHR) field. Five institutions participated in the cycle; EngenderHealth, Men Engage Alliance, ATHENA Network, CamyFund, and Restless Development. The group used action learning to generate learning goals and implement activity plans to reduce the gender equity gap among young people in the AYSRHR field.

In this 2-page summary report, the group shares recommendations, which reflect their own institutional challenges, and calls for collaboration with AYSRHR stakeholders, especially funders, to implement these recommendations as a consortium.
