A global network of scholars supporting evidence-based change.
Global Research for Women!, or GROW!, is an interdisciplinary, global initiative supported by Emory University to advance scholarship, leadership, and dialogue that catalyzes empowerment, health, and freedom from violence for women and girls globally.
The guiding principle of GROW! is that women’s and girls’ empowerment is a pillar of sustainable development and is inextricably linked with their health and freedom from violence.
The strategic priorities of GROW! are to advance scholarship, to cultivate leadership, and to generate dialogue that catalyzes social change through evidence-based policies, programs, and collective action for women’s and girls’ empowerment.
