Agreement Value:
$1,297,980.00
Agreement Date:
Sep 9, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Through this 19-month systemic change project, Aftermetoo will scale its digital platform to advance women’s representation in leadership and decision-making roles, particularly focusing on young women aged 18-34, a group highly vulnerable to gender-based workplace harassment (GBWH). This initiative will expand the reach of the original Aftermetoo digital property, to this younger demographic, addressing their critical needs for support and resources in combatting GBWH. To achieve this, the project will develop and support online communities where young women can exchange resources, learn from shared experiences, and organize for systemic change. Ambassadors with lived experience will provide support and guidance to the communities. Additionally, the project will form partnerships with key stakeholders influencing the systems that impact those experiencing GBWH, aiming to use insights from the affected communities to foster improvements in these systems.
