Women Empowerment specifically in the Asia Pacific region has always suffered due to social and cultural barriers, threats to their security, and discriminatory policies. The Asia Gender Equality Fund is a landmark initiative catalyzed by AVPN with support from Fondation CHANELBill and Melinda Gates FoundationThe Target Foundation and members of AVPN’s Asia Gender Network which will invest in women’s economic empowerment across the Asia Pacific region.
