Victorian Women’s Leadership Pathways Research Brief

The Women’s Leadership Pathways (WLP) research project explores the experiences of identified, emerging and aspiring women leaders in social, political and economic spheres across five countries in Asia and the Pacific region.

WLP is a multi-stakeholder, feminist participatory research project, which strengthens partner capacity, while collecting data that values women’s voices and priorities. The research aims to illuminate the enabling factors that support and sustain women leaders and the obstacles they must overcome. Importantly, it examines why women are motivated to lead, given the significant barriers they face.
