Gender
Our development efforts will be worthwhile only if we step up the fight for equality between women and men.
Gender equality is as it were a red thread woven throughout all of our work. We also have specific gender projects, in particular education projects for girls and projects against violence against women.
What we do
Education and decision-making
Health and sexual and reproductive rights
Food security and food sovereignty
