Working for gender equality
Gender equality implies a society in which women and men have the same opportunities, rights and obligations in all areas of life. Central to the promotion of gender equality is the empowerment of women, especially in regard to the identification and correction of imbalances of power, giving women more autonomy to manage their own lives and, while sensitizing men about the value of this process, since it is vital for sustainable development and human rights.
Humana People to People works to address these challenges in each of its 475 programs of development cooperation. As a result of these projects, girls, boys, women and men are acquiring the knowledge, skills, confidence and support to create better opportunities for all, fighting poverty together with their families.
