CARE works to fight poverty and achieve social justice.
We put women and girls in the center because we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.
How we fight poverty and inequality
Fighting climate change impacts on women and girls
Women and girls are the first and the most impacted by the climate emergency. However, they are also fighting back - for themselves, their families, and the world. CARE has supported climate heroines to fight the exacerbation of climate change, adapt to its impacts and ensure their central voices are heard.
