World Vision’s women’s economic empowerment efforts work to improve the abilities, access and agency of women, while simultaneously addressing inequitable social and cultural norms,
laws, and institutions to promote a more enabling environment where both women and men of all ages can thrive. Women’s empowerment is crucial for achieving the SDGs, ending poverty,
ending world hunger, and building a better world for children.
Through our Women’s Economic Empowerment Approach (depicted in the graphic below),
World Vision works to address four key outcomes: economic advancement, access, agency,
and equitable systems. In partnership with the women we serve and their communities, we
promote increased income and employment, access to opportunities, services, and resources,
decision-making ability in households and markets, manageable paid and unpaid workloads,
and well-being. Finally, World Vision promotes equitable systems where women can benefit
from equitable policies, laws, institutional practices, and social norms
We are proud to be reviewed and held accountable by these independent third-party organizations:
