17 Why Emphasize Women? Hunger and poverty are considered to affect women more than they affect men. Poor women are more inclined to take action, to work harder, to prioritise, to take note of their current situation and future generations, and most importantly, to self-sacrifice for the sake of their children. The AIM model suits the daily lives of women where they are more willing to attend weekly meetings and maintain credit discipline.
