A young women and girls organization is an organization founded and run by young women and girls. The age range we target is 15-25 for girls and 26-40 for young women. These are organizations where young women and girls lead, control and manage the organization in the long-term, illustration of their participation and active role in strategic decision-making. Whether it is legally registered or not, the organization or group must be composed of more than 75% young women and girls and be active in the promotion of human rights in general and those of young women and girls in francophone West Africa in particular. For organizations that aren’t registered, the grant could be a jump-start for the formalization of the organization.
