Project Progress

In connection with our Theory of Change, the Empowering Women and Girls project works across several outcomes to lead to meaningful and sustainable change for women and girls. We work to improve the realisation of human rights and a life of dignity for women and girls from disadvantaged communities in the defined geographical areas of Bangladesh, Malawi, Mozambique, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
