Gender equality is at the heart of CARE's mission. For more than 20 years we have been working to address power relations, to build women's and girls' agency, and to transform structures.

I believe that gender equality will be achieved if leaders give space and support to women and girls, particularly the younger generation, to have their voices heard at all levels.
