    Summary:
    When we mention poverty we think about low income, when it is actually much more under neat
    it. It is also a lack of power, and more important, a lack of choice. The reality says that unequal
    power relations are present everywhere with no matter if it is about rich or poor country and
    they are based on gender, class, age, ethnicity, and disability. But above all, gender based
    discriminations, dominate them all and create double oppression for already many women and
    girls and therefore they end up as poorest of the poor.
    In order for changes to be made, seminar will give opportunity for all the partners and their
    representatives to share different tools, methods and knowledge on they work fighting gender
    based discriminations and how they raise the awareness for the importance of women’s rights
    being at the forefront of the fight against poverty.

    The participants together with their organizations during the seminar will be able to
    share their workshops for empowering fighters for women’s rights and make a wave of
    challenging the old behavior of violence against women with having youth participation
    as a key motivation.
