Thank you for staying connected

The coronavirus pandemic has meant that women in our programme could not meet for in-person trainings. Despite this, we have seen how they carried the lessons learnt and friendships formed out of the classroom to protect each other and their community.

Our Country Director in Nigeria, Buki Onyishi, speaks out on the pandemic that has plagued her country for so many years: sexual violence.

The power of sisterhood in action offers an important reminder: tough times don't last.

Women from our programme in Iraq share messages of hope with the global sisterhood.

Participants from our Men’s Engagement Programme in Rwanda share how they are putting lessons from the programme into practice.

Due to the coronavirus crisis, many of the women we serve have had to stay at home, unable to make money for their family and attend training at Women for Women International. Our team knew that these women would still need support, so they looked to mobile phones for solutions.

2020 was due to be the critical year for women’s rights, with an unprecedented number of global gatherings and political milestones.

Over 4,700 of our programme participants in Afghanistan were provided with crucial supplies against coronavirus. With these kits, women could put lessons about health and hygiene from our programme into practice, to protect themselves and their families from disease.

Amid all the heavy headlines of things COVID-19 has changed or stalled, we are happy to share with you a silver lining: We are resuming our in-person trainings in the Democratic Republic of the Congo!

COVID-19 has served as a reminder that the existing, long-term challenges we face as a global community are exacerbated in times of crisis.
