Emily Bove is a women's rights advocate of a DC-based global advocacy network of grassroots women's rights and gender equality organizations. She has more than 10 years of experience working with communities and grassroots organizations in Indonesia, Cameroon, and the Caribbean. After finishing a Graduate Exchange Program at Georgetown University, she discovered a passion for women's rights and gender issues. Emily worked in post-tsunami Aceh to develop community-based beneficiary feedback mechanisms and supervise the German Technical Corporation's Economic Recovery and Microfinance program's monitoring and evaluation activities. Her work also took her to Cameroon, where she managed and implemented a Gender Transformative Fund from the German Technical Corporation in the field of gender-based violence, with a special focus on rape, HIV, and breast ironing.
