Poverty Reduction

Poverty, and poverty reduction work, is a feminist issue. Women are disproportionately affected by poverty due to systemic inequalities in wages, caregiving responsibilities, and access to resources. From housing support to social assistance advocacy, the AWRCSASA has been supporting poverty reduction work in our community and planted the seeds for further community organizing. Women’s fiscal and economic empowerment is tied to their liberation, making this poverty reduction work an important pillar of our feminist advocacy and support.
