Why Women Only? FAQ

Our booklet Why Women Only? Frequently asked questions about YSWN’s work with women, girls and people of minority genders contains evidence-based responses to some of the questions that can crop up when organising activities and offering opportunities to groups defined by gender. Although written from the perspective of YSWN’s work, we hope it may be a useful resource to anyone facing challenges in a similar setting, or equally for anyone who is unclear about gender equity initiatives and wants to learn more.

The quoted statistics and reports were accurate at the time of publication (December 2022) but we intend to update this resource regularly to reflect any changes in the situation.
