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.

Thank you for supporting women and girls affected by war and conflict in 2024

We live in a volatile world, where news of war and conflict frequently makes the headlines. This year has been no exception – but your steadfast commitment and dedication continues to fuel our work supporting women survivors to rebuild their lives.

As 2024 comes to a close, take a moment to reflect on the life-saving changes we have made around the world, and recommit to investing in women survivors of war next year.

In 2023, our #SheDares Squad took on the Brighton Marathon, London Marathon, Hackney Half Marathon, Swim Serpentine, and the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise vital funds for women survivors of war. Together, they raised over £16,000 – that’s enough for 60 women to enrol in our Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme. Go team! Photo: Women for Women International
