Where Insight and Action Connect
The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) works to make women in developing countries an integral part of alleviating global poverty.

ICRW translates these insights into a path of action that honors women’s human rights, ensures gender equality and creates the conditions in which all women can thrive.
