Community Aid for Rural Development (CARD Ghana), a non-governmental organization, has held a capacity-building seminar for members of the She Leads Social Movement for knowledge enhancement and coordination of advocacy efforts. Dubbed "She Leads Social Movement Building Seminar," the seminar brought together members of the social movement, including girls and young women (GYW) and male champions of change (COCs), for knowledge sharing towards building a strengthened movement. The She Leads Social Movement is a network of GYW groups and organizations with a common goal of promoting equal opportunities for GYW and addressing barriers that limit participation and decision-making. The Upper West Regional Chapter of the movement was launched in 2023 as part of the implementation of the She Leads project in the Upper West Region by CARD Ghana in partnership with Plan International Ghana, with the aim of bringing together young people and youth-led and girl-led organizations to influence positive change within their communities. Speaking at the seminar in Wa, the Acting Executive Director of CARD Ghana, Ernestina Biney, said the aim of the seminar was to educate the Movement members about the She Leads project, the essence of the Movement, and the areas of advocacy that hinge on the campaign.
