Priorities for the Future

As we move through our fourth decade, we will continue to build on our 35 years of groundbreaking research and action. We will also dedicate new resources and expertise to our priorities for the future:

I. Achieving Equity in Education

II. Advancing Women’s Economic Status

III. Promoting Human Rights and Women’s Leadership Around the World

These are our priorities because…

…educational equity has not been fully realized.

…education is a key factor in determining the economic status and empowerment of women, but education alone cannot resolve the growing economic insecurity faced by so many women and children.

… solutions to fundamental problems confronting women around the world are straightforward: develop and enforce the human rights of women and children, educate both girls and boys, and empower women to help improve their lives—and those of others—in a world where inequities still abound.
