Supporting
the Role of Women in Economic, Political,
and Social Affairs
Heartland International
encourages the participation of women in
emerging democratic institutions. Women are
often ignored in an economic analysis,
despite being primary providers of basic
needs like food, clothing, shelter, and
whatever is necessary for family survival.
Everywhere women are determining that they
alone are responsible for changing their
future and are, therefore, organizing
politically at the village level, in urban
environments and on the national and
international scenes.
Heartland International
works closely with leading international
women's organizations in the design and
implementation of programs such as:
-
Tanzanian Association
for Women Entrepreneurs (TAWE), an
association designed by Tanzanian women,
with assistance from Heartland International, to help
develop the businesses of women
entrepreneurs and to promote voices for
change.
-
a forum for the dialogue
between women from the Kenya Women's
Organization (KANU Maendeleo Ya Wanake)
and women across the United States.
-
Women's Leadership
Belarus, a training program for
women across Belarus focusing on
leadership development and advocacy.
-
Heartland
International encourages the
participation of greater numbers of
women in all of its international
training programs.
-
As a women-managed
organization, Heartland International
provides opportunities for women who are
interested in expanding their career
potential in the international affairs
field.
