AREAS OF FOCUS: Supporting women & Girls

All women and girls should be given the opportunity to learn, grow and flourish. That’s why Naza works side-by-side with women and girls across the globe and invests in the development of their skills and creativity.

In an equitable world, all women and girls have the power to be a driving force behind the solutions to global crises. 

In the wake of the climate crisis and its exacerbation of existing inequalities, access to basic human rights for women and girls is further compromised, especially in developing countries. Women are overlooked, undervalued and much more likely to be taken out of school, making it insurmountably difficult to learn essential skills, or to fulfill their potential. They are particularly vulnerable to systemic violence and exploitation, and in times of crisis, these issues are amplified.

Sharing womens’ voices with the world and supporting them to protect their liberty is essential to unlocking the power and creativity we so urgently need. Naza invests in girls’ and womens’ right to stay in education because education means the freedom to follow your dreams, the skills you need to innovate, and the agency to shape your own future, as well as the future of our planet.
