CARE's approach to gender equality goes beyond merely including more women and girls; it focuses on addressing the root causes of poverty and inequality, ensuring that all people have equal rights and opportunities. Through various initiatives and projects across more than 100 countries, CARE has helped 16.5 million women and girls since 2015, emphasizing the importance of women's voices, safety, and leadership, and integrating gender into all aspects of their work, including emergency responses, advocacy, and grassroots action.
