Gender issues in vocational training in Senegal

Mehr zum Buch

Gender disparities in Senegal's vocational training sector significantly hinder women's access and participation. Cultural norms, family expectations, and financial barriers create obstacles that limit opportunities for women, affecting their economic independence. Even when women succeed in accessing training, they encounter challenges such as discrimination and harassment, perpetuated by entrenched gender stereotypes. This situation highlights the urgent need for addressing gender equality and empowering women within vocational education to foster equitable access and enhance their employment prospects.
