Abstract |
CARE has helped the world’s poorest people pursue their goals and improve their lives for 65 years. Over time, we have increasingly focused on injustice, discrimination and exclusion, particularly of women and girls, as underpinnings of global poverty. In 2005, we began a four-year investment in research about empowerment of women and girls. Through our inquiry, CARE developed a theory and framework of women’s empowerment and devoted substantial organisational resources to implementing our approach in 24 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. |
