This how-to paper focuses on how to promote gender-transformative approaches within rural youth employment. Applying a gender transformative approach aims at EMPOWERING (young) women and TRANSFORMING existing systems by questioning established norms and gender stereotypes. If successfully implemented, a gender transformative approach can be key to successfully ensuring employment and improved income opportunities for young women in rural areas.
Integrating different gender transformative measures within the 360° AgriJobs Approach can help to reach employment goals. The measures aim at enabling young women to participate equally in the project activities and to bring them into productive employment. This in return seeks to positively change the image of young women in the agri-food sector and to address structural and social disadvantages and power imbalances.
