Thirty Years of Empowering Women 1976-2006

Founded in 1976, ICRW has earned a reputation as the leading international institution on gender and development.

ICRW tackles the complexities of the world's most pressing problems — poverty, hunger and disease — by demonstrating that a focus on women and gender is necessary for lasting social and economic change

Research is our work, but ICRW is different from other think tanks. We are a "do-tank"

ICRW collaborates with partners in communities across the globe to integrate women's needs into the design and implementation of programs and policies. We develop practical solutions that achieve greater impact, ensure efficient use of resources, and most importantly, empower women to change their own lives and the lives of their communities for the better.

I applaud this organization for getting involved. These girls need equal protection under the law. I would like to work as a human rights advocate. I read a story about an 8 year old bride from Yemen. She was forced into marriage by her father to a 30 year old man. She wanted to play in the garden and the husband beat her and forced her to have sex with him. Until the Middle Eastern government is reformed. These girls need a 1-way ticket out of their country.

Beautiful and honorable organization. More then that, it is one of the most important organizations and kind of work that needs to be done for the betterment of human kind. It is appalling how much money is being spent on violence and killing others and how little is spent on support of those who don't have equal rights, like women.
