CARE Addresses Women's Empowerment;
Says 'Poverty Wears A Woman's Face'

Copyright CARE 2006
"Empowering women is not extraneous to the fight against HIV and AIDS — it is central to it. The sooner we rally our actions around that reality, the better our chances of winning this battle." Dr. Helene Gayle, CARE president In a recent article, Empowering Women To Battle HIV/AIDS.

"In our decades of work to alleviate poverty around the world, CARE has consistently deepened our understanding of why entire groups of people live in chronic want and despair. As our understanding grows, our approach to fighting poverty becomes more effective. Today, at the onset of the 21st century, CARE is committed to uncovering and uprooting the underlying causes of poverty, including the human-made social, political and economic power structures that consistently exclude certain groups of people — and none more consistently and persistently than women in every society on the planet. Globally, poverty wears a woman's face." -- CARE in a White Paper titled "Women's Empowerment."
