The Gender Center promotes the rights of girls and women to education, health, a safe environment, economic participation, and leadership. It analyzes gender-related issues and advocates for the mobilization of leaders and institutions in support of gender and equity.
The Gender Center has implemented over forty projects in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America on a range of gender related topics including, girls’ and women’s education; community engagement; mitigating gender-based violence, anti-trafficking; girls’ and women’s leadership; and girls’ and women’s economic empowerment.
