Through a global and coordinated advocacy strategy, we believe that we can multiply the scope of our impact beyond program funding and technical support to influence national and international policies.
At CARE International, we advocate to advance the rights and priorities of women, girls, and marginalized communities in all their diversity.
We work with partners – at grassroots, national, regional, and global levels – to influence change in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and CARE’s Vision 2030. CARE’s advocacy enables greater impact and increased accountability for commitments to fight poverty and inequality.
Gender equality is at the center of all we do, so our advocacy focuses on tackling deeply entrenched inequalities which impact marginalized communities, particularly women and girls. Enabling women and girls to be heard is core to our vision.
Protracted humanitarian crises, the climate emergency, and COVID-19 have only exacerbated gender inequality and thus made our focus on women and girls even more critical.
CARE works across humanitarian, development, and peace-building contexts to advance social justice and promote human rights for people of all genders.
CARE advocates for change across six Impact Areas – our areas of focus to drive change towards Vision 2030, these are Climate Justice; Gender Equality; Crisis Response; Right to Health; Right to Food, Water, and Nutrition; and Women’s Economic Justice.
