Welcome to CARE's Wiki on Gender!
The purpose of this wiki is for promoting knowledge sharing and learning around gender in CARE.This Wiki is BRAND-NEW, and still in construction, with only initial materials posted in the existing folders. Our goal is to make this a space where any staff member who identifies as a gender change agent - formally or informally - can connect with others, and find or share key resources to help advance the cutting ede of CARE's work to promote women's empowerment and more just gender relations.
