Young Women for Politics is an opportunity for Palestinian women to get their voices heard and gain more impact in local politics!⁠

The program was created for socially or politically engaged women from the Palestinian territories, to provide them with the knowledge and tools of Democratic change and pluralism, to enhance the women participation in politics.⁠

“Young Women for Politics” contains …⁠
… a series of online classes and mentoring with experts from the fields of political communication and strategy🧑🏽‍💻⁠
… a lot of networking⁠
… developing strategies for women’s political participation in Palestine 🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏾‍♀️⁠
… workshops in Ramallah in October 2022⁠ with remote participation from Gaza
… intensive consultation and check ups by the elda team⁠
… a 4-day networking trip to Berlin in January 2023

The project was successfully organized with the valuable help of our Palestinian project partners Palestinian Consultative Staff for Developing NGOs (PCS) and Factory-x.

Young Women for Politics is generously funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.
