International Women's Day

Celebrate Women's History Month & International Women's Day with us!

Taking action leads to hope

With women’s rights in decline around the world and conflicts escalating, the news is filled with images of war, devastation, and tragic loss. It’s no wonder so many people feel angry and hopeless. 

Hope is a powerful force, one we must invest in. The survivors we serve are among the most marginalized in the world, yet, they refuse to give up hope. Women in countries affected by war and conflict dare to challenge oppression with acts of defiance every day—and so can you.

Take action. Feel hope again.

About Women's History Month and International Women's Day

✨ Women's History Month, first celebrated in the United States in 1987, recognizes women trailblazers throughout time who have helped shape history, moving the needle on women’s rights and paving the way for changemakers today.

✨ International Women's Day on March 8th honors women’s social, economic, cultural, and political contributions worldwide – while asking us to reflect on the progress we still need to achieve gender equality.

A global consultation ensuring the voices of women affected by conflict are heard

We spoke to over 6,500 women in countries affected by conflict who are leading change in their communities. The consultation highlighted the importance of investing in hope.

Despite the immense challenges that women affected by conflict are facing, they still have hope for the future. Across the 14 countries where we consulted women, 81% are hopeful and expectant that their circumstances will improve in the next 5 years.
