ICRW was founded in 1976 in response to concerns that international development interventions were benefiting men and women unequally - to the detriment of entire societies.At the time, women’s roles and responsibilities, their needs and concerns, and their contributions and constraints were invisible to those who determined how countries spent funds to combat poverty, illiteracy and poor health.
