WHAT WE DO
Why Girls?
“If you educate a woman, you educate a family, if you educate a girl, you educate the future.”
Queen Rania of Jordan
49.9%
OF INDONESIA’S CURRENT POPULATION ARE FEMALE
However, their representation in both public and private sector are still limited.
20.5%
OF WOMEN REPRESENTATIVES IN PARLIAMENT
Indonesia is in a crisis of female leadership. Currently, out of 560 representatives in the parliament, only 17.3% of them are females. The root of female apolitical attitudes cannot be separated from the surrounding environment that often does not support young girls to develop their leadership potential, as well as the lack of platform for young women in particular.
5%
OF WOMEN CEO OR BOARD MEMBER
Young women in Indonesia are less likely to be socialized by their parents to think about being a leader. From their school experiences, peer associations, and media habits, young women tend to be less exposed to politics and the importance of being involved in their community. Hence, many women do not want to compete in the political arena nor even care with their significant role to their community when they grow up.
Our Impact
Capacity Building
Through our GCL Leadership Camp program, we equip young women with leadership skills and help them to discover their potential. We ought to inspire them to play a role in building their communities.
Networking
GCL also serves as a mentoring and networking platform for youth leaders in the community. We help to connect them and encourage a collaboration to tackle issues in their society.
Funding
By the end of every training, we provide small amount of seeds funding to help selected local initiative to kick-off their program and become a living example of woman’s amazing capability.
Programs
Leadership Camp
Our team aims to improve the leadership skills of Indonesian young women and catalyze the growth of a new generation of leaders by providing free leadership training program in a form of two days camp. Our target participants are female high-school students and those who have interests in increasing their leadership skills.
To be able to have passion to run for the office, we believe firstly they have to have the basic leadership skills, which consist of several skills such as public speaking, analytical thinking, time management, and negotiation.
Currently we operate in four different provinces in Indonesia, namely Jakarta, West Java, Central Sulawesi (Poso), and Maluku (Ambon). Since 2017, we’ve trained more than 100 participants nation-wide.
