Why Advocacy?

For decades, CARE has complemented its programs in countries around the world with U.S. advocacy that multiplies impact and improves the lives of millions of people worldwide, especially women and girls. CARE’s commitment to advocacy draws from our experience in more than 100 countries around the world and promotes actions from U.S. leaders that foster strong and resilient communities, help end poverty and save lives.

CARE’s advocacy supports women and girls because when they are given access to resources and opportunities, they create a ripple effect of positive change that lifts entire families, communities, and countries out of poverty, ensuring brighter futures for everyone around the world and in the U.S.
