CARE White Paper: Women's Empowerment

In our decades of work to alleviate poverty around the world, CARE has consistently deepened our understanding of why entire groups of people live in chronic want and despair. As our understanding grows, our approach to fighting poverty becomes more effective. Today, at the onset of the 21st century, CARE is committed to uncovering and uprooting the underlying causes of poverty, including the human-made social, political and economic power structures that consistently exclude certain groups of people — and none more consistently and persistently than women in every society on the planet. Globally, poverty wears a woman's face.
