Women for Women International invests where inequality is greatest by helping women who are forgotten the women survivors of war and conflict. In Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda, and South Sudan, women learn skills to rebuild their families and communities through Women for Women Internationals Stronger Women, Stronger Nations Programme.

They form support networks, are equipped with the skills to earn an income and save, and gain knowledge and resources about health and their rights. Since 1993, our global community has invested in the power of over 530,000 women across 14 conflict-affected countries, to create a ripple effect that makes the world more equal, peaceful, and prosperous. 

Erin is a Politics student in her final year at Leeds, currently researching and writing a dissertation through a feminist lens on the Afghanistan war which has brought our attention to many prevalent issues that Women's for Women international support. We both feel strongly about this cause, empowering other women in every corner of the world and moving towards a society of equal opportunities for both Women and Men. 

To raise money we will be completing the Three Peaks Challenge in 24 hours in July & will be needing every bit of support from you all :)
