Abstract
Over the last 10 years, numerous youth-led initiatives have emerged globally to address local development and social challenges. These initiatives focus on issues such as gender inequalities, women’s economic empowerment, gender-based violence (GBV), access to safe abortion, girls’ education, climate justice, and other social problems. The Population Council-Kenya and the Population Council-Mexico joined forces with young feminist organizations (YFOs), feminist academics, and other stakeholders to conduct participatory evaluation research. This research aimed to better understand the YFO landscape in Kenya and Mexico, including organization, operations, challenges, and shared experiences. The study provides an overview of youth-led feminist organizations in Kenya and Mexico, covering various aspects such as demographic and background characteristics, key focus areas, methods of communication and collaboration, legal status, funding, and target populations, which refers to the group programs, interventions, or actions they are intended to serve.
