Über uns

The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) is a global development nonprofit organization with headquarters in Washington, D.C., and a regional office in New Delhi, India. We also have project offices in Mumbai and Hyderabad, and are establishing a formal presence in East Africa.

ICRW is comprised of social scientists, economists, public health specialists and demographers, all of whom are experts in gender relations. We are thought leaders driven by a passion to alleviate poverty and rectify injustice in the world. And we believe that women and girls in developing countries – in collaboration with men and boys – are essential to the solutions. We know that when their quality of life improves, families are healthier and economies are stronger.

Founded in 1976, ICRW has earned a reputation as the leading international institution on gender and development.

ICRW's mission is to empower women, advance gender equality and fight poverty in the developing world. To accomplish this, ICRW works with partners to conduct empirical research, build capacity and advocate for evidence-based, practical ways to change policies and programs.
