PROMOTION OF WOMEN
In almost all poor countries, women are victims of socio-cultural blockages giving them a status of devalued and inferior. With this erroneous traditional image perceived as being in relation to men, women, especially those in rural areas, face various problems, among others: the persistence of multidimensional poverty and misery which weighs more and more heavily. on them; women's unequal and difficult access to education, training and health; inequality in economic structures and policies and in the management of public goods; the persistence of discrimination against women and violations of their fundamental rights. It is clear that if women understood their conditions and rights, improved their incomes and acquired skills that were traditionally denied to them, empowerment would follow. It is with this in mind that DedeFund invests in the promotion and dignity of women by supporting any project that can contribute to the full development and total empowerment of women, to the reduction of gender inequalities, to abolition of all forms of discrimination and violence against women, strengthening the educational, health, entrepreneurial, managerial and financial capacities of women in Africa and elsewhere in the world.
