The Asia Foundation has had a dedicated program to increasing women’s participation in democratic processes and public decisionmaking across the Asia-Pacific region since 1992. The Foundation’s commitment to advancing women’s political participation is based on the recognition that broad citizen participation is not only an important end in itself, but it is also the key to addressing the immediate, practical, and longterm strategic needs of women. Ultimately, increasing women’s political participation is an effective means for promoting more open, democratic societies in which women are full participants and beneficiaries of national development. Working with and through local partner organizations in 21 countries throughout Asia, the Foundation serves as a regional resource providing technical expertise, training, and financial support.

The Asia Foundation has worked with Asian governments
and local partner organizations for over 50 years
to support and strengthen legal systems so they can
more effectively protect women's rights. Together with
our local partners, we provide communities with
information on their rights under national law and
provide women with free legal aid to empower them
with the knowledge, courage, and support to claim
their rights and take control of their lives.

Gender-based violence is one of the most prevalent and destructive problems women face worldwide, often resulting in debilitating physical and psychological trauma. This serious problem is deeply-rooted in women's low status within society—a problem The Asia Foundation works to address on many fronts. Our programs work with entire communities to change negative attitudes and social customs that condone violence against women. We also work to prevent violence and address the immediate needs of victims by supporting shelters and providing counselling, legal aid, and vocational skills to help women rebuild their lives.

As leaders of influence in society, religious and secular leaders are well placed to contribute to national
development efforts and advancement of democratic values. Bangladeshi society confers high stature
and respect on these individuals, whose contributions to community life and public affairs reflect special
knowledge, understanding, leadership, and personal integrity. The Asia Foundation has worked with
