OEF INTERNATIONAL SIXTH WOMEN IN DEVELOPMENT AWARDS LUNCHEON

FACT SHEET

OEF International

For more than 40 years, OEF has worked to promote the empowerment of low-income women and has been recognized as a pioneer and leader in the areas of self-employment for rural women and legal rights. OEF often collaborates with indigenous organizations to develop and apply practical strategies that make a difference in women's lives -- in terms of how they regard their own potential, how they earn income for their families, and how they participate in community life.

Thousands of women and their families have been assisted through OEF's economic programs in countries such as El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Mexico, Haiti, Senegal, Mali, and Somalia. OEF's policy and law programs support women's networks throughout Asia, Central and Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa.

Since the early 1950s, OEF's institutional development programs have enabled indigenous groups and institutions to organize themselves to tackle the economic, legal, environmental, health, and educational challenges facing their communities. OEF, in collaboration with refugee councils and local governments, has provided training to refugee leaders to develop and carry out long- term comprehensive economic development programs.

The Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children

Founded in January, 1989, by International Rescue Committee (IRC) board members Catherine O'Neill and Susan Forbes Martin and IRC International Vice President Liv Ullmann, the Women's Commission works to increase public awareness of the plight of the refugee women and children throughout the world who make up almost eighty percent of the overall refugee population. In this first year, the Commission conducted several missions to refugee camps in Pakistan, Thailand and Malawi, opened the Afghan Women's Social Service Center in Peshawar, presented a comprehensive report of recommendations to the UNHCR in Geneva, lectured at universities, and testified before Congress.

International Rescue Committee (IRC)

IRC is the largest voluntary agency devoted to helping refugees who escape from political, religious and racial persecution, as well as uprooted victims of war, aggression and famine. IRC facilities are located in Afghanistan, Poland, Ethiopia, Cuba, Cambodia, the

Soviet Union, Iran, Nicaragua, Laos, Czechoslovakia, and Vietnam. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein to help those trapped by Hitler, IRC has become the leading American agency assisting refugees throughout the world to survive and rebuild their lives.

Today, with the world refugee population exceeding 14 million, IRC's first concern is relief and medical aid to enable the sick, hungry and wounded to survive. IRC's training and self-help programs enable uprooted people to assist their own countrymen in achieving self-reliance.
