Around the world, women play a central role in earning family income, caring for the family’s health and raising children. Women have the power to help entire families and communities lift themselves out of poverty. However, women often face discrimination and violence – and lack the information and resources they need to fulfill their potential. CARE’s new policy agenda begins with a strategic focus on addressing women’s most critical needs: health, education, economic opportunity and personal safety. Our solutions aim to unleash the potential of women and address the root causes of poverty for all.
