“Gender equality” should be yelled, not whispered

Make it MAke Sense.

Where the funding goes makes a world of difference

If we know the best predictor of a state’s peacefulness is how well its women are treated, then we know where we can work towards that in tackling these and more:

• Women grow up to 80% of the food in farming communities across the global south, yet only 15% of landholders are women.
• If women farmers had the same access to resources as men, their yields could rise by 20–30% potentially reducing the number of hungry people by up to 150 million.
• Even one more year of schooling can increase her future earnings by up to 20%.
• Women make up almost 70% of global healthcare workers but earn around a quarter less than their male colleagues.
• Despite women being responsible for 90% of preparing and buying food, they are eating last and least whenever there is food insecurity.

That Math Ain’t Mathing

Thank you for joining CARE Canada in advancing gender equality and fighting poverty around the world.

The solutions are happening, it’s just a matter of resources

When we support women and girls, entire communities thrive

For more than 80 years, CARE has been tackling the root causes, not only the symptoms, of poverty by advancing gender equality around the globe. 

• CARE works with women farmers to access markets, break down barriers to growing their businesses, and connect them to financial services, land rights, and training. (care.ca/her-livelihood)
• CARE works with communities, parents, teachers, men and boys to remove the barriers keeping girls out of school, including poverty, early and forced marriage, gender-based violence, lack of period products, and traditional beliefs about gender roles. (care.ca/five-reasons-to-invest-in-girls-education)
• CARE invests in women health workers’ skills and leadership, strengthens local health systems, and works to ensure women have equal opportunities to lead, with adequate protection and fair pay. (care.ca/her-health)
• CARE’s Village Savings and Loan Associations give women the tools to earn, save, and build emergency funds so families can afford food during lean times, while providing immediate assistance in active hunger crises.

Our projects focus on long-term change: preventing gender-based violence, increasing women’s access to economic resources, working with entire communities—including men and boys—to shift narratives and advocate for concrete policy changes.

In 2025 alone, CARE Canada reached 1.6 million people (70% of participants were women) across 50 projects in 35 countries. 

Our work is driven by evidence and fueled by real, tangible solutions. And now, you’re a part of it.

You’re a part of the movement. Here’s what to expect.

Now that you’re a part of CARE’s community, you’ll see the power of investing in the most effective ways to fight inequality. You’ll get to know what actually works, why it works, and how far it reaches. And most importantly, you will meet some of the women and girls who have transformed their lives and strengthened their communities.

If you’re like us, you’re tired of short-term fixes and want to know what actually moves the needle for people facing poverty around the world. You’ve just taken action to be part of the solution.

Thank you!!
