Rahila, a Women for Women International programme participant.

Right now, there are hundreds of women waiting to enrol in our programme in Afghanistan, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. You can help by sponsoring a woman today.

The women waiting to enrol are living in countries that have been devastated by war, where rape is commonplace, where they have been forced from their homes, where they hope and pray for the safety of their children. But your 12-month commitment of £22 a month can change the entire life of the woman you sponsor.

I am not exaggerating—your sponsorship of £22 a month can change a woman’s life FOREVER.

100 Years since women had the right to vote!

Details: Created: Monday, 20 August 2018 14:03

Ladies, raise your glasses! Next week marks 100 years since a landmark law gave women in the UK the right to vote — and we have a lot to celebrate. Since that historic ruling, life has improved drastically for women in this country.

But fast forward to 2018, and opportunities are still limited for women and girls around the world, all because of sexist laws that belong in the 1900s. Like the suffragettes before them, inspiring young women like Sonita Alizadeh and Nujood Aliare fighting to end misogynistic practices like child marriage — and today, they need your help.

Ladies, turn the clock forward 100 years — take action to end child marriage for a better future for women and girls.

Meet Samira, whose story is both tragic and inspiring. In Bangladesh, where Samira is from, over half of girls marry before the age of 18 — and they are often submitted to horrific violence from their husbands.
