It's not your country, you're stepping in dangerous territory. Focus on your country and mind your own business.

Honestly, the best way would be to speak with like minded women in those countries and encourage them to try and change things from within. It's noble of you to try and better the status of women in other countries, but it's really best if you don't do it directly. I mean, how would you like it if a foreigner came into your backyard, told you something was wrong with your culture, and tried to fix it themselves? That's not only highly arrogant, it's cultural imperialism, and something that at the very least should be avoided unless there are some major human rights violations going on (like women being tortured or something like that).
So talk to the women (and men!) in these countries who would like to make a change, and encourage them/provide them with the means to do so.

There is an example of this happening in Bangladesh, or somewhere in that region. The women are given interest free (or very cheap) loans, so they can start their own small businesses. The women are usually more responsible than the men, and tend not to waste the opportunity they have been given . The loan default rate is very low, and most of the women actually make a go of it. This method is far better than giving handouts.

Women are already empowered it's the men in those countries keeping them down.

First of all,women need empowerment by not discriminating them from there rights.Especially in Africa were they are treated like slaves by some of their spouses they need to break free.
They must be given every right they deserve.
Thank you

Educate the girls, and help the women to start their own small businesses so they make their own income and aren't completely dependent on others to live.
