Thanks for giving yourself a juicy mid week stretch out and in doing so supporting Women for Women International.

Women for Women International supports women who live in some of the world’s most dangerous places. Women enrol on the charity’s year-long training programme, where they learn how to earn and save money, improve their family’s health and make their voices heard at home and in their community.

They are currently doing brilliant things to assist the women suffering as a result of the Ukraine Crisis.

Although International troops have left Afghanistan, the resilient Women for Women International team is on the ground doing everything possible to support Afghan women since the commitment to supporting communities in Afghanistan remains despite the withdrawal of International troops.

No matter what happens you can’t un-educate the women of Afghanistan or take away their belief in the right to go to school or to work. We don’t yet know the path to a peaceful and equitable Afghanistan, but we do know the way to get there is by investing in women. Women build peace and prosperity from the bottom up. We stand strong in our belief that stronger women build stronger nations.

"It has probably become more dangerous to be a woman than a soldier in armed conflict". - Major General Patrick Cammert, Former UN Peacekeeping commander. When war and insecurity take hold, women bear the heaviest burden of violence, poverty and inequality.  Of the 71 million people currently displaced from their homes - almost 1 in every 100 human beings on earth - 80% are women and children.
