#MessageToMySister

A&O Shearman staff can send a message of support and solidarity to a woman survivor of war and show her she's not alone. Your personal message will be translated and delivered directly to a woman in our programme, telling her you’re standing alongside her.

YOUR WORDS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

SEND A MESSAGE OF HOPE

Many of the women we serve have been uprooted from their homes and lost family, friends, and everyone they depended on for support. Anxiety, depression and low self-esteem thrive in isolation.

Your words of support will tell her she’s got a friend she has never met, someone who shares her hopes and believes in her abilities: to rebuild her life, open a business, give her children a brighter future.

The power of sisterhood in action

Over 4,000 messages from more than 83 countries

When we first called for messages around International Women's Day 2018, we couldn't have imagined such a moving response. From schools to workplaces, our dedicated supporters, like Women for Women International's Ambassador Dame Helen Mirren, have shared incredible messages of solidarity with women survivors of war. Through getting involved in our partnership with Allen & Overy and sending a #MessageToMySister, you can become part of this incredible ripple effect of inspiration!

I appreciate your cards and your words. I thank you so much for your support. Thanks to Women for Women International I can now provide my children with basic school needs.
