This project aims at increasing the visibility of Yemeni women as leaders and making their voice, in particular those in other governorates than the capital, heard in the decision making process in Yemen and in Yemen’s process of transformation for transition to democracy.
The first phase was with FES whereby a website was established to host profiles of 200 women leaders from Sana’a. The second phase was supported by the Dutch Foreign Ministry to identify 100 Yemeni women leaders of all disciplines from each of the following five governorates: Aden, Hadramout, Taiz, Hodidah and Ibb resulting a total of 500 profiles.
The women’s profiles will be recommended by individuals and institutions in the community. A database of women's leaders exists with Y21F in Arabic and English.

A radio program "Turning Point" supported by UNDP and broadcasted in Radio Yemen Times to provide Yemeni youth, males and females, with inspiration and practical help for economic empowerment through regular interactive radio sessions.
