Despite a considerable body of evidence that investing in women and girls works, actual investments in women’s rights and empowerment remain a low priority in global philanthropy. Since 2011, only 7% of all philanthropic dollars have been invested specifically in women and girls’ rights and empowerment. Who can fill this gap? Women. New data shows that in North America alone, women currently control approximately $18 trillion in wealth, and if they gave just 1.7% of that amount, it would add up to $230 billion in philanthropic dollars. Extending these figures to a global scale, it is possible that women could have the capacity to give $1 trillion annually by 2026.
