Abstract

This paper explores women’s empowerment as a means of improving the lives of women and girls in low- and middle-income countries. It presents a thorough examination of interventions designed to empower women and evaluates the cost-effectiveness of various charitable programs. The findings highlight four outstanding charities: StrongMinds, Bandhan’s Targeting the Hardcore Poor program, Village Enterprise, and provisionally, No Means No Worldwide. These organizations provide interventions that have demonstrated effectiveness in combating depression, extreme poverty and sexual violence, demonstrating positive impacts on consumption, subjective well-being and educational outcomes. – AI-generated abstract.
