Mission

Developing countries currently have social systems that do nothing to close the gap in the rate of school attendance between boys and girls, but instead contribute to a cycle of poverty.

The mission of Ochanomizu University, which has a history of women乫s education stretching back 130 years, is to support the growth of women, regardless of nationality or age, and the development of their qualifications and skills. The university provides a place where women of different ages and social standing can come together and conduct research from a global perspective. Providing support for women in developing countries at a university that has such a high caliber of human resources follows a 乬women-to-women乭 approach, and facilitates efforts to solve the problems unique to developing countries and make policy recommendations from the perspective of women.

The Center for Women乫s Education and Development is committed to carrying out the research being promoted at Ochanomizu University for women in developing countries, who are among the world乫s most vulnerable citizens, and hopes to lend support to the university乫s contributions toward world place.
