Mission
The world is grappling with complex problems, including climate change, war, poverty, and ongoing human rights violations. These issues disproportionately impact women, particularly in developing countries. In nations recovering from conflict, the consequences of these global challenges are deeply gendered. An abundance of research indicates that when women participate equitably in decision-making, solutions to problems are more likely to impact all and last longer. To address gender inequality, SHE-CAN amplifies women's leadership by supporting low-opportunity women from post-conflict countries to attend U.S. colleges, providing mentorship and leadership training, and supporting them to return home to positively influence their home communities and nations. With combined power and collective influence, SHE-CAN scholars create change that reverberates globally.
