Bringing together young women from diverse cultures and backgrounds, the Young Women's Leadership Forum will explore issues of global concern to young women including poverty, violence, human rights and sexual and reproductive health. Challenging speakers and thought provoking sessions will identify solutions and develop skills for young women to be effective agents of change. The two day event ensures young women's issues are integrated into the broader agenda of the YWCA movement, and offers opportunities to build networks and discover new cultures.

It’s not all work and no play – we are going to have fun too!
