Women and Girls Empowerment

Our Programs

Women and Girls Empowerment

Our goal is to train and educate women and girls on these five components.

Good practice policies and initiatives on gender equality

To see that all girls and young women, regardless of ethnicity, income level or social status, are nutured and empowered to reach their fullest potential. To educate and empower socially and economically disadvantaged women and girls to make healthy choices in every aspect of their lives by providing personal growth and development services through one-on-one and group mentoring, workshops and career development programs. To develop and implement programmes aimed at improving the standards of living of their communities through sustainable use of the environment and the available resources. To empower women and young girls economically and educationally to enable them participate in development activities, initiate the community to advocate for support and education of girls, to increase enrollment of girls in school, to change the life of poor women and their families through revolving fund provision and empower their households economically.

Why focus on women and girls?

Empowering women and girls and achieving gender equality are crucial to creating inclusive, open and prosperous societies. Gender inequalities, however, persist in many countries so it is important that we find new ways of addressing this issue. We contribute to this agenda by creating opportunities for dialogue to influence policies that benefit women and girls; work with partners to promote access and opportunity for women and girls and build the skills and confidence of women and girls to achieve their potential and have more influence over decisions that affect their lives.

There has been considerable progress in recent decades in getting countries to acknowledge the importance of empowering women and girls, in order to promote greater equality in their relationships with men and boys, within their families and in society. While the international community recognises the important contribution gender equality can make to poverty reduction and inclusive growth, it also recognises that equality must be, above all, a matter of basic social justice.

When women do better, countries do better, communities do better, and families do better.
