Gender Equality and Social Inclusion in East Asia

Gender Equality and Social Inclusion

For all children to have equal rights, value and opportunities

 

Unequal power dynamics and deeply rooted social norms continue to deny millions of people—especially women, girls, and marginalised groups—equal opportunities to thrive. These inequalities affect access to education, healthcare, livelihoods, and decision-making, leaving individuals and communities trapped in cycles of poverty and exclusion. 

Achieving gender equality and social inclusion is not just a matter of justice; it’s a fundamental driver of sustainable development.

World Vision works with partners and communities to accelerate gender equality and social inclusion, including supporting the empowerment of marginalised populations at pivotal points in their lives. Our end goal is a world where barriers are dismantled, no one is left behind, and everyone has the chance to benefit from the five domains of change: well-being, access, participation, decision-making as well as influencing systems to ensure equal outcomes and opportunities for all, regardless of gender, disability or other social status.
