Women for Women International Helping women survivors of war and conflict rebuild their lives.
(1229)

Through direct support, skills training, rights education, and a sisterhood of healing, women learn to lead change — even in the most difficult circumstances. Since 1993, Women for Women International has served over 616,000 marginalized women in countries affected by war and conflict. We offer survivors of war the training, tools, and networks of support necessary to

move from crisis and poverty to stability and economic self-sufficiency. After learning to earn and save money, improve health and well-being, and influence decisions in their home, survivors are able to create sustainable change for themselves, their families, and their communities. We are corking to create a world in which all women determine the course of their lives and reach their full potential.

In South Sudan, investing in women’s leadership is creating lasting change.

Through our Change Agents program, women are raising awareness of gender-based violence and taking on greater roles in community leadership. Among them is Ajania Amude, a former graduate who now serves as Acting Senior Inspector within the Department of Gender, Child and Social Welfare.

Her journey is a powerful reminder: when women are given the opportunity to lead, the impact reaches far beyond the individual — strengthening communities and shaping a more equal future.

Will you stand with her?

This September, 300 women in Palestine will join our Stronger Women, Stronger Nations program — gaining skills, building financial stability, learning about their rights, and creating new possibilities for themselves and their families.

As a Sister Supporter, you can stand alongside one of these women throughout her journey, offering more than financial support: connection, encouragement, and solidarity.

She’s ready to build her future. Click the link https://bit.ly/4gCJxPG to stand with her.

Afghan women have always been leaders, creators and changemakers. Their achievements stand in stark contrast to the reality they face today, where women and girls continue to be denied many of their fundamental rights.

Afghan women are more than the restrictions imposed on them. They are mothers, students, small business owners, sisters, friends and leaders. Their ambitions, talents and voices endure.

We celebrate their achievements and stand with their right to reclaim the future that has always been theirs.

Real change begins when women have the tools to shape their own futures. Every opportunity creates a ripple that reaches families, communities, and generations.

This is what your support makes possible.

Last week marked a powerful milestone: the graduation of the very first Stronger Women, Stronger Nations cohort in Palestine.

For 300 women, this was a celebration of resilience, perseverance and hope in the face of extraordinary challenges.

When we began working in Palestine in 2022, our vision was to support women in rebuilding their lives through connection, skills, and economic opportunity. As conflict escalated, that work evolved to meet urgent humanitarian needs — but our commitment never changed.

Today, alongside our dedicated team in the West Bank and trusted local partners in Gaza, we continue to stand with women as they navigate crisis while investing in their futures.

To our first graduates: congratulations. Your courage, determination, and strength inspire us all.

From resilience to breaking the cycle of inequality, their stories remind us that change begins when women have the opportunity to learn, lead, and decide their own futures.

Their journeys are different, but they share a common thread: the courage to rebuild, the determination to keep moving forward, and the belief that every woman deserves the chance to decide her own future.

Today, we remember the Yazidi genocide—a tragedy that forever changed thousands of lives.

Mediha is one of its survivors. Today, she is a Yazidi activist, filmmaker, and Women for Women International Champion, using her voice to honor those who were lost and to stand alongside women rebuilding their lives after conflict.

Her story is one of extraordinary resilience, but it is not unique. Thousands of Yazidi women and girls endured unimaginable violence, and many continue to live with its lasting consequences.

Today, we honor their strength, remember those who were lost, and reaffirm our commitment to standing with women survivors as they rebuild their lives and shape their futures.
