The Issue
Give Women the Right to Own Their Own Home
Women do 66 percent of the world's work, but own less than 15 percent of the world's property. In many places, women cannot own or inherit property. This makes women more vulnerable to poverty, violence and HIV/AIDS. If we are going to make progress ending global poverty, we have to start with women.
The bipartisan Global Resources and Opportunity for Women to Thrive Act, if passed, would be a giant step forward.
