Around the world, there are still millions of women whose day begins with walking miles to fetch water. For decades, carrying heavy buckets has been part of their daily routine—and that of their mothers and grandmothers. But that reality is beginning to change.

To commemorate World Water Day, celebrated on March 22, Ayuda en Acción wants to highlight a reality that remains a global challenge: a...

In addition, women are overrepresented in the informal economy, particularly in rural areas, where access to land, financing and markets remains unequal. In a global context marked by rising economic inequality, the system continues to restrict millions of women from accessing stable in...
