Project aims to empower marginalized women to promote their activism and meaningful participation in democratic processes and raise their voices and ultimately run for local elections.
- In order to ensure the sustainability and continuity of the project, 150 women participants were carefully selected in Mongolia's remote rural areas, in collaboration with local NGOs, academia, political parties, the media and local institutions.
- Training was provided using the most innovative and appropriate resources in the field of women's empowerment, selected by the international and national community. Participants were involved in communication with the media about their success stories, new experiences and ongoing changes.
- An online platform has been created where the 150 trained women will be able to continue to share their experiences, knowledge and skills on leadership and local democracy and to organise events. This will strengthen cooperation and the dissemination of women's leadership in other regions and the local community.
