About Women for Women International
Based in Washington, DC, Women for Women International represents over three decades of commitment to women survivors of war and conflict who have been forgotten by the world's attention. The organization was founded on a fundamental belief: every woman possesses the inherent power to transform her world, and when women work together collectively, they create the foundation for a better world for everyone. Women for Women International recognizes the profound injustice that marginalized women face—silenced, undervalued, and excluded from decisions that directly affect their lives—particularly in regions devastated by conflict and violence. Since 1993, the organization has invested directly in the lives and potential of over 500,000 women, listening to their voices and working alongside them to understand their deepest needs and aspirations. The global team of 400 staff and trainers shares an unwavering conviction that stronger women build stronger nations. This community-centered philosophy drives every program, every partnership, and every decision made within the organization. Women for Women International stands apart in its commitment to ensuring that women determine the course of their own lives and reach their full potential, creating sustainable change that transforms not just individual women, but their families and entire communities in the face of post-conflict recovery.
