  Two reasons:
  - Our biggest program (large transfers) allows families to select a single head of household to receive the funds. Women often handle household spending so are slightly over-represented as the recipient in this program.
  - We run a few specialty programs that are explicitly targeting women (e.g. this nutrition program or this cancer program)
