CARE's Women Lead in Emergencies (WLiE) model is a gender-transformative, participatory approach that supports women affected by crisis to lead community-driven change. Through six interconnected activity areas – Analyse, Reflect, Co-Create, Act, Learn, and Engage Men – the model facilitates collective reflection, participatory planning, and dialogue between women, men, and local institutions to rebalance power and participation in crisis contexts, strengthening women's voice and leadership in humanitarian decision-making.
This poster shares examples from Ukraine and Sudan, showing how participatory processes helped women redefine their roles in communities affected by conflict and displacement. WLiE supported internally displaced and ethnic minority women to challenge restrictive gender norms, engage in local governance, and co-create solutions to community challenges. Women are now serving on municipal councils, forming new women's rights organisations, and establishing partnerships with civil society and authorities to improve livelihoods and access to services. Engagement sessions with male relatives and leaders have strengthened dialogue, social cohesion and relationships with power-holders, building support for women's participation and leadership. WLiE demonstrates how SBCC approaches can transform humanitarian practice to be more inclusive, equitable, and community-led.
