“These grants address the unique barriers women face—barriers like gender inequity and lack of economic and political opportunity,” said One Woman Initiative Fund Chair Carly Fiorina. “Investments in women can lift entire families out of poverty, transform communities, and foster peace and prosperity, We are particularly sensitive to the potential of women in Muslim majority countries, at this watershed moment, when family and community stability can contribute to the peace and security we all seek.”
