Conclusion of Young women and Leadership

Abstract

Throughout this volume we have sought to develop a theory of young women’s leadership, with a particular focus upon young women working towards social justice in Asia and the Pacific. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork, including hundreds of interviews with young women from across this region, the contributors to this volume have demonstrated the unique ways that young women lead, the challenges they face, the opportunities that exist to support their leadership, and the benefits this has for realising young women’s rights and building stronger communities.
