Use your #PowerToChange
This Women's History Month and International Women's Day (8th March) we celebrated by encouraging everyone to use their power to create change.
Let's continue the momentum all year long!
Power To Change
We all have the #PowerToChange
When we use our power together, we can change everything
Over the last thirty years we have witnessed the incredible power of women every day. In the face of inequality and conflict, the women survivors of war we work with rise up and transform not only their own lives but their whole communities.
They have the #PowerToChange, and so do you! The power to make a small but mighty difference lies within all of us. Invest in your own power, invest in women’s power, and together we can change the world.
Thirty years after Women for Women International’s inception, we have grown from one woman who started the organisation to serving over half a million women survivors of war around the globe.
Join us and use your power to create change for women everywhere.
Women who inspire us to use our #PowerToChange
Jihan from Iraq
"I would like for every woman to be free. And no one to be oppressed. No woman should be oppressed and feel that she doesn’t exist."
Cecilia from South Sudan
"I used my power to change my economic situation at home."
Fazila from Bosnia and Herzegovina
"I was aware that I had to convert my personal tragedy into energy that, first of all, my daughter needed, and then other women from my town could benefit from too."
