World Vision believes that it’s possible to end extreme poverty. But it won’t happen as long as half the world is held back from reaching their full potential.
When girls and women get equal access and opportunity, progress is accelerated, children are better cared for, families are stronger, and communities are more prosperous.
That’s why we have been deeply engaged in gender equality work for decades. It’s integrated into everything we do, at every stage of a woman’s life.
What we’re doing
• Home-based healthcare and clean water at rural health clinics so she can be born healthy
• Access to clean water close to home, so she can go to school instead of spending her days walking miles for dirty water
• Separate latrines and private sanitary rooms at schools so she can stay in class even when she has her period
• Protection from violence and harmful traditional practices, so she can marry when and who she chooses
• And economic opportunities, so she can thrive
Strong Women Strong World™ is World Vision’s movement of women, men, and young people using their voices and resources to drive change and improve the lives of women and girls globally.
You can help women and girls lift themselves and their families out of extreme poverty, live healthier lives, and reach their full potential. When girls and women are empowered, everyone wins. And, when her potential is unleashed, extreme poverty doesn’t stand a chance.
