Chemonics recognizes that in some contexts, deep-rooted cultural and historical practices have narrowly defined women’s opportunities and roles. To address these inequalities, we lead activities that facilitate women’s access to the skills and resources they may need to participate fully in society. We also recognize that within these contexts, women’s experiences and opportunities are not homogenous. We seek to understand the intersection of identities and factors that have led to women’s underrepresentation in select sectors and leadership roles, as well as those that impact access to other opportunities. We also address the legal, regulatory, and cultural enabling environments that may impact women’s access to equality.
