Women Get Back- A job shadowing experience in Brazil
Women Get Back: we are exchanging good practices with our partners from Latin America
As part of our long-term cooperation in capacity building and exchange of good practices with our Latin American partners, we will have two job shadowing missions in Peru and Brazil under the Women Get Back Erasmus+ project.
The Context
The “European Year of Equal Opportunities for All” in 2007 reinforced the necessity of combating multiple forms of discrimination and promoting equal opportunities. In Europe, women returning to the labour market are a significant segment of the workforce, yet they are often overlooked in statistics. Studies show that women have, on average, 40% fewer chances than men to be offered a position, highlighting the challenges women face when re-entering the labour market.
In Latin America, women’s efforts have been crucial in reducing extreme poverty. Many women are transitioning from traditional roles into areas previously considered “men’s work,” forming small businesses and initiatives to address violence and support their families. However, prejudices, harassment, and socio-economic challenges persist. Nearly 30% of young women become mothers before the age of 20, often with limited resources, which perpetuates intergenerational poverty and limits their autonomy and life projects.
About the Project
The Women Get Back (WGB) project is a Capacity Building initiative within the European Commission’s Erasmus+ Programme, involving 5 European partners (Bulgaria, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain) and 5 Latin American partners (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, Nicaragua).
The project aims to equip youth workers with innovative training methodologies to improve guidance, counselling, and vocational training for young women returning to work after maternity, illness, unemployment, or self-employment.
