- Dr. Helene Gayle, CEO and president of CARE, discusses the challenges women and girls face in our world today. Ending poverty means eliminating gender discrimination and empowering women and girls to realize their potential. Find out more about CARE's work by visiting www.care.org
The amount of ignorant negative comments and dislikes on this amazing video just goes to show how deeply ingrained sexism is in our society. (I don't mean to be negative for tomorrow) Equality will be a hard one to attain, but we WILL get there in the end if all work together. We can do it! Happy IWD!!!
CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of our community-based efforts to improve basic education, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and more. We also deliver emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters.
@amanvds When we talk about the world's "work," we're not just talking about CEOs and big companies. We're talking about farming and agriculture and other methods of income in the developing world, where women do the vast majority of the work.
We agree! Through experience, we've seen that by focusing on women's empowerment, entire communities (men and children included!) are lifted from poverty
i read some of the comments here and laugh at some,,,some make me cry,,,granted there are bad men,and bad women,,but for the most part women are a loving, caring, compassionate nurturing human being and should be respected, as with all human beings
At CARE, we recognize all hard work. We are not looking to blame one sex over the other, we simply see women as an untapped resource, and through careful research, have seen how empowering them benefits men, other women, children and whole communities alike.
Actually, we've found that empowering women to earn an income benefits her whole family, including her husband. Learn more on our website at care. org
CARE equally! The National Institute of Mental Health, Research Lab from University of New Hampshire conducted a study on domestic violence. Results from study:
1. At least 50% of domestic violence victims are male
2. Most domestic violence is initiated by females
3. Females are 3 times more likely to? use a weapon during domestic violence
Many studies ALSO show men suffer MUCH more homelessness (worse than just being poor), suicides, Child custody+social welfare+sentencing discrimination & more
@NutritiouslyHigh Groups focus on women because these are the people who are typically responsible for providing a home and child care. when women do better so do the children, it's killing two birds with one stone. The end goal is ending poverty as you suggested but providing women with access to education and better healthcare is a very effective way of doing so. To make this clear, no one is trying discriminate against men we just want prosperity.
By work we don't just mean "paying jobs" - a lot of the world's work is done by farmers trying to earn a living in the developing world, most of whom are women.
Women and girls are a largely untapped resource in the fight to end global poverty. By focusing on their empowerment, we believe everyone benefits.
@OfficialJerla While CARE is concerned with poverty and injustice everywhere, our mission is to serve individuals and families in the poorest communities in the world.
We strive to address the structural barriers to overcoming poverty. While these can certainly be found to varying degrees in any wealthy nation, the scale doesn't compare to poor nations. Therefore, CARE believes we have the greatest potential for impact in developing countries.
even if you don't believe in a vision of true equality, this speech has some useful statistics that could help halve poverty by 2015, and vitally open up a world where everyone can fulfill their potential.
We can't send links over UA-cam, but if you go to our website or even google and search on any of these stats you will be able to find the sources.
These statistics are very provocative and makes one think about what women really do for the world.
Thank you I love this video and all the ones that connect to what we as women need to accept as part of our journey to self.
@NutritiouslyHigh it is a fact that in a society where women are not treated like second class citizens and girls have the equal access to education that boys do, EVERYONE does better. We must address gender inequality because it is detrimental to society, ignoring the causes of poverty will do nothing to fix it. Gender inequality IS a cause of poverty you cannot deny that. This video is not exaggerating, these are facts!
This is the shocking truth men have to start seeing facts and not dreams.a woman is a blessing to humanity
Before or after marriage?

Hello Charlie. Worldwide, the majority of people in poverty are women.
I undertook a subject that looked at the benefits of empowering women in developing countries which showed that an area could be developed faster, for one women educated and a job, would bring with her numerous others, family, neighbours while men were more likely to keep knowledge learnt to better them selves to spite neighbours or to appeal to other women outside of their family. No bias study. (refer: women empowerment on any peer reviewed source) empowerment of men isn't currently an issue
Remove Poverty & Create Equality For Everyone!
Empowering women benefits women, Directly empowering BOTH sexes benefits BOTH period! no biased research will ever truthfully prove that statement wrong without leaving out important factors Such as the ones misrepresented here and on the CARE website.
If men and women were "equal," we wouldn't be different. Men have their place and women have their's.
@kingcrow15 Please visit our website at care. org, where all of these statistics are supported.
@NutritiouslyHigh my initial point was that people react negatively to gender inequality. And the comments on this video clearly supports this. And yes gender inequality does exist in the U.S in the form of wage fairness. I don't want a man hating matriarchal society I want equality. Tell me do you believe that on a global scale men are equal to women? And Honestly tell me if you agree that in solving gender inequality issues like education the world wont be a better place.
@jok3rxfear Many of our projects support men as well as women. We also have implemented a number of projects helping women earn a sustainable income - sometimes as the primary provider - to support her family. You can learn more on our website at care. org
@bobjohnlee Women are more susceptible to poverty because, even though many do live with their husbands, in the developing world they do not have equal access to resources. It is possible for a husband and wife to experience different levels of poverty. You can learn more on our website at care. org

As a male,it pains me to see other males make such ignorant and sexist remarks.I for one,agree with every point this video is making,and guys who are too thick headed to even comprehend what this video is trying to say is giving guys such as myself a bad rep.
Women are oppressed,even in "the free world."It is true that they are treated better,but take a closer look at society.Derogatory terms,sexist attitudes,getting paid less than males;despite being treated better,they are still mistreated.
@NutritiouslyHigh as someone previously stated, legally the U.S is equal but there is still social inequality, as in the mindset of society. People (like those who commented on this video) still think of women as inferior, but that is a completely different issue. If you don't care about the well being of humans as a whole, including undeveloped countries, then this conversation is useless and I win.
@bobjohnlee The US IS a society with gender equality. Wages are different but there a lot more factors that go into that than supposed discrimination. For example, women get married and have kids on average earlier than men do, which definitely affects salaries.
I didn't say culture was an excuse for discrimination, neither is it an excuse for blood rituals and the like. But we're not going to change third world countries, they're just not on the same level.
While men, women and children alike all suffer from poverty, women are among the world's most vulnerable because of their lack of access to the world's resources. You can learn more on our website at care. org

In LEDCs that statistic is correct. But in MEDCs it is a different matter. In the UK men make up 70% of the homeless population. And as Charlie pointed out the U.S. probably has a similar figure.
I think this is because for the last century the focus has been so much on women that men have been neglected. In my opinion the feminisation of education and ruthless alimony/child support laws are the main reasons for there being more men in poverty than women in MEDCs.
@younghotsoul08 thank you for your sensible comment. I felt so alone :'(

excellent comment
I agree !
Hi Charlie. CARE's poverty-fighting programs are exclusively in developing countries. This statistic refers to the global population, not just that of the U.S.
who would dislike this?
Lots of interesting comments here!

@NutritiouslyHigh you have been ignoring everything I have said? Going to an impoverished nation and handing out food is great but ineffective in the long run. I'm saying that in order to truly rid the world of poverty you must go to the source. Providing women with access to health care and education means a generation of healthy, educated kids. I hope I don't need to explain what that means for a nation. Unfortunately because of a woman's status she is often not provided with these things
Giving me chills...
@bobjohnlee You "win"? Wow. So that's what this is about.
If you cared about the well-being of humans as a whole, you wouldn't focus on helping one particular group. It's as simple as that. Helping women only will not correlate over to men.
I wonder how politics and economics would change if there was true equality, and I wonder who would suffer the most if there was true equality.
I watched the PBS Population documentary and they had an Indian woman who never married, she was taught sewing and ended up making more for her family then her potential husband would of brought in.
This is a great video that shows compelling data. I don't know if the late comment will get a response, but I wonder where the original source of the data mentioned in the video can be found. I would like to use these data, but I'm not sure if I can use this video directly, so I would like to ask the source of the data. Again, this is a really great video.
@NutritiouslyHigh one more thing. culture isn't an excuse for discrimination. Do you think people are really going to blame any perceived inequality on culture differences? If the Jim Crow laws could be written of as just the American culture things would be a lot different right now. A lot of things were in style 200 years ago that doesn't mean we have to abide by them.
May God bless you in this endeavor.
"Only an Idiot would dislike this" I'll Quoate a Famous O.G. "THIS IS A MAN'S WORLD BUT IT WOULD'NT BE NOTHING WITHOUT A WOMAN OR A GIRL"
Nice vid, more on this topic and what else you can do to unlock the power of Womens rights at "One Planet, One Child".
@bobjohnlee But in America... we have equality, or at least as much equality as we're ever going to have. Laws for men and women are equal, education opportunities are equal, the only thing I can think of that isn't equal is military service as women aren't allowed to be infantry or in advanced programs such as the Navy SEALs, but that is largely due to physical genetics and testosterone levels (potential for muscular development), not discrimination.
I take issue with some of these statistics. sources?
Interesting facts and nice presentation. Good blending of traditional and digital media.
@MrTHEUHHHHno First of all, I am not your friend so not your bro. Second of all, you don't joke about these kinds of things. It just makes it seem ok to say racist and sexist things if everyone does this. It is not.
Hello Care USA. THe last time I was in your country I saw a huge number of people in poverty sleeping rough, with little to eat. I could have sworn the majority of them were men. Could you please correct me if I was mistaken?
@jok3rxfear What's stopping you from talking about men being sent to war? Go to it! sharing the responsibilities of family life is great, I'm sure we all want that.
@bobjohnlee First of all, "living" with one parent usually means custody for one parent, visitation for the other with child support. Second, I said "over 50%", and you said 3/4 children live with two parents, thus actually helping me to prove my point. Plus you mentioned US stats while I explicitly said "third world".
Also, your initial main point was third world countries, and now you're changing to the US? Women have equal rights as men in the US, arguing else wise shows obvious bias.
@evil001987 And you got that from where exactly?
and who made these studies
@cookie7860 so women supply men whit arms so they CAN go to war at the same time war is mens fault? and you said women go to war but they just lose their loved ones not their own lives?
"CARE" is women centric because its easy to exploit and cash in on the subconscious evolutionary hard wired thoughts that overwhelmingly surpasses the intelligence in most people & allows them to fund womens needs over mens regardless of the fact that the majority of homeless are men. Woman in need? = lets fund an org to help her! Man in need? = lets fund yet another org to help women. Wanna help families & prevent poverty? help end single motherhood by including men & CARE for both sexes.
Yea, I totally see a lot of homeless women compared to men here in the U.S....
your organization through youtube show mainlly woman's crisis.
it's still kind of an organization towards woman's.
but since you state that your organization helps everyone, may i ask what is your current goals so i may humbled?
Thanks for sharing this video!
No one will be good at remembering they roles
i dislike myself when other are pointing roles and responsibility in my life and i want be perfect myself. my brother told me use this ipod app called "iRoles" by hanumappa which helps to balanced my life.
educate girl change world.
@angelkitten5679012 Extreme feminism is a bad thing however, as some of them have said things such as "men are pigs", etc, and truly believe that. Feminism for equality is fine, but people often take feminism too far and assert that females are dominant over males, as they believe it is currently vice-versa, which, in most first-world countries, is not true.
Yes, some people have a non-equal mindset, but there are also people in the KKK, people who think it's fine to abuse animals, etc.
that's not really an argument. anyone with the proper resources can do literrarly anything and it does'nt neccesirly mean a woman.
so your argument does'nt explain why or how focusing on woman education and not say like mainlly focusing on children (both boys and girls). will be more productive
but since it seems you're certain about that fact can i get some studies links?
@bobjohnlee To add to my previous comment, men and women are not equal, but neither is one better than the other. We're different and statistics are going to affect that, but especially in the US, gender discrimination is barely present. Racial discrimination is much more present in society.
And, I'll give you the link again, an example of social problems for men : /watch?v=4JA4EPRbWhQ
Seriously, why set a goal of ending poverty for women, rather than just ending poverty in general?
Kony 2012
Wow, so many sexists and MRA types. Shit.
CARE, I applaud you for putting up with their crap.
this ideal world is impossible.
@bobjohnlee That's not true at all.
Image I make a video. It talks solely about how mistreated men are in society, and how we need to work to end poverty for men so there can be a better life for men.
Poor men. We die more often in war, we have more labor-intensive jobs, we pay the majority of taxes, we die earlier, and we have a much higher rate of suicide.
Now see my point? Talking about helping one gender in particular is gender-biased in itself.
since currently it's easier to get jobs for males maybe we should sponsor a male to get a job to help his starving family
and did you know that woman pay less because it's traditional in human society for the man to take care of the female
if we want to help someone in poverty to help his people we should help the males since in western cultures according to what i assume your knowledge man get more jobs.
@NutritiouslyHigh As far as laws go, yes the US is a a gender equal society, however, there are still people with the mindset of a non-equal gender society. Perhaps this organization aims to bring an equal mindset to the table? Especially since nowadays, feminist is used as an insult.
@LomariLunan Because this isn't working for equality for everyone. Instead of trying to single out one specific group of poverty and help them, why don't we just try to end poverty in general? Read the top comments.
Plus, the statistics are not true.
@bobjohnlee On a global scale, there are problems because that's just how their culture is. That's how the entire globe used to be 200 years ago. In the US, I don't believe there are any problems, even in terms of wages. It's illegal for a man to get paid more than a woman for the same work. A corporation can be taken to court for that.
There are actually almost more social problems for men now. /watch?v=4JA4EPRbWhQ
its call ed male dominance its been around since the start of man and will always will be calm down guys at the top with power and are what ever is left
@jok3rxfear i wish it wasn't true.
and about my comment. i stupiddly tried to do like her statistics were true. because i could not find statistics show poverty by gender so i can't say it's not true. if you got any send me.
@bobjohnlee Many of these facts fail to address that women and men typically live together in society, and men more than often have the job. I have yet to see even a third world society that has a large amount (over 50%) of women supporting themselves with no male partnership.
@jok3rxfear People care when a man is mistreated by a woman. In our country we have abuse/rape centres that are open to men and women. Mistreatment by either sex is wrong. Please just don't assume that working for one groups rights precludes another group from obtaining justice.
actually something between 40%-55% statics are made up on spot but statistically speaking, this may be the worst ever
@D100J by the means of dollar a day. all of us here on youtube i bet live over a dollar a day
well who goes out to war?
@NutritiouslyHigh If most people lived with someone of the opposite sex, and the man in that household had a job, why are women more susceptible to poverty? And you cannot say that there aren't pay discrepancies in the workplace because the first bill Obama signed was that Lilly Ledbetter fair pay act. 1 out of 4 children are living with one parent in the U.S. 85% of single mothers live near or below the poverty line. Can you please fact check things before you say them?
wait wait wait a bit! It seems much like wrong statistics or wrongly interpreted statistics......
@NutritiouslyHigh No problems in the U.S? Yes a corporation can be taken to court but who can take a CORPORATION to court? because of recent legislation people cannot group together and challenge companies you must go alone. The U.S is ranked below other western countries as far as wage discrepancies go. And we are having a debate about contraception and woman are being called whores and asked to post sex tapes online RIGHT NOW. And what social problems are you talking about?
KONY 2012
we shoud help each other,this statistic is very sad
Nothing you say is based on fact.
Most counties haven't even grown out of the "women aren't equal" stage, So make a video about this once most countries in the world has equality between men and women. This video right now, (Date is March 7,2012) doesn't make any point and is sexist.
i dont think these stats r right
@WildWe5 Hey man, working in a kitchen still counts as work.
ok. most poor people are woman. but where the statistics that most woman are poor.
oh and yeah. living over a dollar a day is actully better than living under a dollar a day.
but i admire your organization it helps poverty, but why are your speeches directed to the female gender. please start equally speech support both
i failed to see in this video the fact that women serve less time in jail then a man for the same crime
just an institutional front
