Advancing Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality in Asia – A Year in Review 2017

The Women’s Empowerment Program strengthens women’s and girls’ rights and security, political participation, and economic opportunities. These key pillars are mutually reinforcing and are essential to women’s advancement. Further, we know that investing in women and girls improves outcomes for economies and societies. In concert with these core elements of women’s empowerment, we work to advance gender equality through all Asia Foundation programs.
