Vermont's commonsnews.org features excerpts from ICRW's 2010 report, "The Girl Effect: What Do Boys Have to Do with It?" in a story about involving boys in programs that address gender equality and aim to empower girls in developing countries.
The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) works to make women in developing countries an integral part of alleviating global poverty. Our research evidence identifies women’s contributions as well as the obstacles that prevent them from being economically strong and able to fully participate in society. 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.
