EmpowerHer Labs are one-day, in-person trainings organized by LOLA chapters in their own cities, created to bring LOLA’s training beyond our leadership and closer to the wider community of women around us. Open to members, leaders and women who are new to LOLA, the Labs launched in 2026 with a focus on leadership and career growth, and in their first year they reached 118 women across five editions in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and Brazil.

In 2027, the Labs will take a new direction, centered on the philosophical foundations of liberty and presented in a clear and accessible way that connects these ideas to the everyday lives of the women who attend. They will remain open to every woman who wants to learn, and for many, they will be a first introduction to the ideas of liberty.
