To bring a global perspective to this special edition, Philanthropy UK invited a range of contributors to provide a high-level overview of women and philanthropy in seven countries. The resulting round-up of the state of gender and giving, which covers five continents, is the first attempt that we know of to provide such a comparative perspective.
Our contributors include women and men who work in the philanthropic sector or who have made intensive studies of the country they write about.
A defining feature of almost all the articles is a lack of data to draw on. Apart from in the USA (where philanthropy research is well established), our contributors had to refer to studies in which philanthropy was a tangential topic and to informal sources of information.
The lack of readily available facts and statistics about women and philanthropy makes this round-up a particularly useful resource for all those with an interest in the international development of female philanthropy.
