The vast majority of the world's poor are women. Whether on farms, plantations or in factories, women are more likely to suffer from poverty wages, as well as deplorable working conditions and physical abuse on the job.
War on Want believes that the fight for women's rights is a vital part of the war on global poverty.

Led by factory workers, small farmers and political activists, the women's rights movement is waging a global struggle against inequality.
