"This publication features a contextual chapter, twelve workshop sessions, and an appendix containing culture-specific scenarios relevant to the cultivation of effective leadership skills. At the heart of each workshop session is a case study or scenario. These scenarios depict individuals who discovered personal leadership skills that enabled them to address a challenging situation in their community. The scenarios also feature the innovative work of organisations from around the world that emphasise participatory decision-making and communication, both internally and with their target constituencies.

The scenarios span the globe, from Jordan where attorney Asma Khader spearheads the campaign to eliminate gender violence in her country; to Brazil where CEMINA uses communication technologies as a vehicle for women to express themselves and promote gender equality; to Pakistan and Afghanistan where the Afghan Institute of Learning works to educate, train, and empower Afghan women and children living in refugee camps; and to Nigeria, where BAOBAB for Women's Human Rights employs technology-- from the copy machine to e-mail-- to share information with women in sub-Saharan Africa and enhance their ability to participate fully in their communities.
