Celebrate the power of women this March
This March, we are asking our global community to use their power to make the world more equal, peaceful, and prosperous for women everywhere. This includes our fantastic corporate partners who are harnessing their #PowerToChange the world by supporting our vital work helping women survivors of war rebuild their lives.
If you’re looking for a gift for your mum this Mother’s Day, wanting to celebrate the powerful women in your life for International Women’s Day, or simply feel in need of a well-deserved treat for yourself during lockdown, why not shop with companies that are powering meaningful change for women survivors of war?
Mark women’s history month by using your #PowerToChange when shopping - because when we use our power together, we can change the world!

And for every public post tagged #PowerToChange @womenforwomen and @netaporter between now and International Women’s Day (8th March 2021), NET-A-PORTER will donate $1 to Women for Women International.

This International Women’s Day, we are celebrating our global ambassador Charlotte Tilbury MBE, who has committed the full force of her business since 2016 to the women we serve by raising awareness and pledging an incredible £1 million to our work.
