They have decreased access to health/wellness care and increased incidence of sexual exploitation, and gender-based violence.
• Women are still woefully underrepresented as elected officials at every level of government.

The Cheerful Facts

• Women’s Funds move money nine times faster than traditional philanthropic organizations.
