Stand With Her

Sign up to stand with a woman survivor of war and invest in her potential to transform her life

Through our one-year programme, your ‘sister’ will learn about her health and well-being, how to earn and save money alongside a vocational skill, and learn about her rights – all in a classroom with 24 other women, breaking the isolation caused by conflict.

Become a Stand With Her supporter from just £22 a month.

#SheDares To Hope: Women's History Month

Take action. Feel hope again.

March marks Women's History Month and International Women's Day (8th March). But tragically, achieving a safe and equal world for women is a long way off. 

Yet, in the chaos of these enormous challenges, one truth remains: together, when we stand in sisterhood and solidarity, we can retain our hope and take steps towards a more peaceful and prosperous world.
