St Andrews Women for Women International Student Society
Founded in 2013
Since their inception, St Andrews Women for Women International Student Society has supported over 120 women survivors of war through our Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme.
Maret Zillman, St Andrews society 2023/2024 president, shares: “As president of the Women for Women St Andrews Society, it is a great honour to be surrounded by so many inspiring women who are passionate about supporting our Sisters in Iraq and Nigeria in building a better future for themselves and their families.”
Together we have created a community of enthusiasm, mutual encouragement and creativity that fuel our efforts to fundraise and spread awareness within our student body. I am excited to see what events and ideas we will come up with this year and hope we can continue to make a change
Women on a Mission

These adventurous women have supported women survivors of war for a decade by challenging themselves to the most perilous expeditions around the globe. From their first Jordan expedition in 2013, to their mountain bike challenge in Ethiopia in 2017, and in 2023 their Namib Desert expedition - every year these adventurers are always on a mission to help even more women build a brighter future for themselves.
To date, they have raised over $1million for women accross the globe.
#SheInspiresMe Squad
Back again for more exciting challenges, in 2023 our #SheInspiresMe 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!
#ShakeItIn Sisterhood Danceathon
Sunday, 25th June 2023
On Sunday, 25th June at Siobhan Davies Studios in London we challenged 37 supporters to #ShakeItInSisterhood for six hours to raise vital funds for women survivors of war. We partnered with SOS Dance who brought us six incredible routines led by A-list choreographers Li Li Hodge and Kelechi Nwanokwu. Aimie Atkinson and Abbie Quinnen were our wonderful Event Champions who together with SOS Dance and our guests helped contribute to such an amazing, empowering day.
Our amazing dancers were able to raise over £21,000, helping us enrol 79 women survivors of war in our Stronger Women, Stronger Nations.

Join the Power Up Club

Inspired by our Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme for women survivors of war, the Power Up Club is a space for committed supporters to come together, develop their knowledge and skills, and drive the changes they want to see in the world.
Having been blessed with peace, freedom and opportunity, I feel a sense of duty to help women who have not enjoyed such privileges, and who through no fault of their own have suffered terrible losses and must feel as if the outside world has forgotten about them.
