Gender Justice (The Core of VSI’s Work)

Gender justice is at the heart of everything we do. We design our programs to ensure that everyone—women, men, girls, and boys—has equal opportunities and benefits. Promoting gender equality is the foundation of all our efforts.

Policy Advocacy

We push for policies that include and protect women and girls. Our work focuses on making sure gender-related laws are passed, enforced, and upheld to close gender gaps.

Legal Reform

We challenge discriminatory laws and advocate for policies that protect the rights and dignity of all people, regardless of gender.

Interpretation and Simplification of Laws

We simplify and interpret laws so young people can understand and use them to hold governments accountable. Our approach ensures legal frameworks are easy to grasp for different age groups.

Networks, Exchange Programs, & Youth Outreach

We create spaces where young people can discuss key issues, share knowledge, debate, and participate in peace initiatives.

Inclusive Leadership & Political Education

We promote diverse and inclusive leadership by encouraging shared responsibilities, open communication, and horizontal leadership structures.

Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights (SRHR)

Women’s and young people’s sexual and reproductive health rights are often overlooked. At VSI, we advocate for SRHR as a fundamental part of sustainable development.
