ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT FOR WOMEN
Economic power is fundamental to all other freedoms. A woman with income can leave violence, educate her children, participate in decisions, and invest in her community. Women’s economic empowerment benefits everyone.
The Issue
Economic dependence traps women in violence, prevents them from leaving abusive situations, and limits their choices. Women lack access to education, skills training, credit, and markets. Unpaid care work consumes their time. Discriminatory laws prevent them from owning property or starting businesses.
