Women are disadvantaged in many ways. It is common for women to be marginalised, face gender inequality and to be subjected to violence and abuse. Many women lose all rights to property when their husbands die, and are left destitute, living on the streets with their children. WOW provides women with healthcare, shelter and food.
Many girls in developing nations are denied the right of an education, have no access to healthcare and are not safe, even in their own homes.
This means that women and girls remain vulnerable and oppressed. Through education, training and self-sustainable business opportunities, WOW wants them to know that they are women of worth.
