Women's Leadership

coadystfx

Meeting and responding effectively to the challenges of this century depends on the commitment and ability of societies around the globe to achieve equality for the world’s women. We know that empowered women means improved quality of life for everyone. Yet, women continue to be under-represented in decision-making positions in the social, economic and political arenas. Coady Institute prioritizes educational opportunities that help women advance as leaders in such arenas and especially at the local level, thereby ensuring their influence in all aspects of development. Created in 2011, our International Centre for Leadership focuses on community leadership education informed by intersectional, feminist, transformative leadership models, strong partnerships with women-led and like-minded organizations, and community-driven action-oriented knowledge creation and dissemination.
