CURRENT WORK
Our central focus is women’s economic empowerment (WEE) with advocacy targeting enhanced productivity and incomes from women’s economic engagements, and we believe that to address gender inequality issues more effort needs to be devoted to gradual long term but impactful programs and projects that are aimed at changing socio-cultural mind-sets that disadvantage women and youth.
