East Africa Youth Council

The East Africa Youth Council (EAYC) is a non-profit organization committed to promoting gender equality and empowering young people in East Africa. The organization’s various initiatives and programs demonstrate its dedication to creating an inclusive and equitable work environment that benefits all employees.

One of the key activities undertaken by EAYC is the development and implementation of gender equality policies. These policies serve as guidelines for ensuring that all employees are treated fairly and equitably, regardless of their gender. By establishing a culture that promotes gender equality, EAYC fosters an inclusive work environment that benefits all employees.

Another important initiative undertaken by EAYC is the provision of equal opportunities for career growth and development for all employees. This involves ensuring that there are no gender-based barriers to career advancement and that all employees have access to training and development programs that can help them grow professionally. By providing equal opportunities for career growth and development, EAYC attracts and retains top talent, improves employee satisfaction, and promotes gender equality.

EAYC also promotes gender diversity and inclusion in the workplace. This involves creating a work environment that is welcoming to all employees, regardless of their gender, and actively working to eliminate any gender-based biases or discrimination. The organization achieves this by implementing initiatives such as mentorship programs for marginalized groups, creating fair compensation and promotion procedures, and becoming advocates and champions for gender equality.

In addition to promoting gender equality in the workplace, EAYC plays a crucial role in addressing gender-based violence (GBV) in East Africa. The organization empowers young girls and boys to be agents of change in challenging harmful gender norms and building a more positive future. It provides support and services to survivors of GBV, including access to legal aid, medical care, and counseling. EAYC also raises awareness, advocates for policy change, and implements effective programs and initiatives to prevent GBV and support survivors.
