Mama Cash, May 2007
Sports are a powerful instrument for girls’ and women’s empowerment around the world. But very little is actually known about the extent and manner in which women’s participation in sports actually empowers women and promotes equity between the sexes. The notion of sports as an instrument for women-friendly international development is to a large extent unexplored – and untapped.

After extensive research – which involved a call for input to a wide range of actors and a document review – a wealth and diversity of women-sport-and-development initiatives emerged. The study also yielded great challenges and the beginnings of a list of “best practices” to overcome these.

> Migrant women’s philanthropic practices from the diaspora
Mama Cash, December 2006
With the intention to leverage more visibility and support for migrant women's philanthropic contributions, Mama Cash initiated the project (she gives back). One of the project aims was to map the variety of women's initiatives in the area of diaspora philanthropy in five European countries.
The project resulted in the research report '(she gives back) > Migrant women's philanthropic practices from the diaspora', that explores the unique role migrant women play in diaspora philanthropy, and highlights their efforts contributing to positive developments back home. (She gives back) focuses on five European countries-Italy, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and France-and provides a first look at how migrant women influence wider social change through continued financial support-of their families, communities and personal networks in their home countries.
"The participation and contributions of migrant women to communities and societies in Europe as well as in their countries of origin are often ignored. The research report (she gives back) shows their role is comprehensive and of major importance."
