Internatinal Vluntary Service (IVS) prjects all ver the wrld have been ffering a rare space where wmen frm different backgrunds and with different skills can actively participate in the life f the lcal and internatinal cmmunities, share their experiences, wrk alngside with men, take and accept leadership and gain legitimacy in different cultural cntexts. Having set an analysis f the shrt term vluntary service prjects run in the tw gegraphical areas, it has been nticed that in African cuntries there is a scarce wmen participatin in lcal and internatinal prjects, while in Eurpe, there is an verage wmen high rate participatin in these prjects, higher cmpared with the male ne. This analysis shws that the ptential f yung wmen participatin in IVS prjects is nt explited yet in African cuntries due t scial, ecnmical and cultural barriers. In Eurpe instead, althugh reaching up t 70% f the vlunteers exchanges in many cuntries there is a tendency t reprduce gender inequality within existing structures. Gender revealed t be a crss-cutting issue in particular in the frame f Africa- Eurpe exchanges: the reciprcal steretypes and prejudices n gender rles in African and EU scieties played an imprtant functin as underlined by different prjects we set up in recent years. With unemplyment still high as a result f the 2008 financial crisis yung peple and wmen are a particular risk categry. They enter the jb market ften with little experience, given that frmal educatin institutin des nt effectively prvide enugh preparatin. Yung wmen are the first victims f this crisis because f cultural and scial prejudices and it s fundamental t enhance their rle as key factr f develpment.
