3.Their right to have access to opportunities and resources.

4.Their right to have power to control their own lives, both within and outside the home.

5.Their ability to influence the direction of social change to create a more just social and economic order, nationally and internationally

Who we really are

Advocate for Young Women (AYW) is a dynamic and purpose-driven initiative based in Ghana, dedicated to the empowerment, education, and holistic development of young women. Founded on the belief that every young woman deserves the opportunity to thrive, AYW exists to close the opportunity gap faced by many brilliant yet under-resourced young women across the country.

We believe that sustainable empowerment is achieved not just through access to education, but through consistent support, mentorship, and exposure to positive role models. This is why our program integrates visits, forums, and interactions with accomplished women – known as “Big Sisters” – who guide, inspire, and mentor our students throughout the year.
