This report details the Arts for Gender Equality Fellowship (A4GE), an initiative launched in 2023 by CARE with support from the Rockefeller Foundation. The fellowship aims to leverage the power of art to promote gender equality, empower women, and ignite social change. It brings together a cohort of global artists who use various forms of artistic expression—such as poetry, painting, photography, and performance art—to challenge societal norms, address gender-based violence, and raise awareness of women’s rights and leadership. These artists are strategically positioned to evoke empathy, spark critical conversations, and inspire collective action through their work. The project aims to create safe spaces for these artists while ensuring their work reaches a global audience to catalyze cultural shifts that traditional approaches may not achieve. Moving forward, the fellowship envisions working closely with women-led organizations to further CARE's goal of empowering 50 million women and girls to achieve greater gender equality by challenging structural inequalities.
