Women4Good X CARE USA present: Prioritizing gender equality

SEE EVENT DETAILS


August Nonprofit Spotlight: CARE USA
Women4Good is excited to partner with CARE USA, a leader in the fight against global poverty, for a special meetup on Tuesday, August 21st!
Join us for a discussion at The Laundry with Theresa Hwang, Senior Director Gender Justice at CARE USA!
CARE has been working towards gender equality as a major organizational commitment since 1993. CARE’s commitment to women’s empowerment and gender equality is based on decades of expertise in dozens of countries and in every development sector. They see gender as a cross-cutting issue that they are addressing in every program to make an equal world free of poverty. Empowerment is more than women doing or having more, being smarter or stronger. It requires change in the structures and relations that shape the choices/results to which women can aspire. Women’s empowerment is complex, nonlinear and unpredictable. It is beyond the scope of one organization, let alone one time/resource-bound project.
With over 20 years of experience prioritizing gender equality, CARE has developed an amazing range of tools and lessons about becoming a women’s empowerment organization.
Join Women4Good Bay Area on August 21st to explore more about how to build social attitudes, behaviors, and structures in all aspects of an organization that support gender equality for people and communities.



*$10 includes light appetizers/wine and a portion of proceeds will be donated to a non-profit.
We have 20 SEATS ONLY for our event to allow for an intimate setting.
