Annually on 8 March, thousands of events are held to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of diverse local activity connects women from all around the world: political rallies, business conferences, government activities, networking events, craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades, and more.

When included as meaningful participants, women enlarge the scope of agreements to include the broader set of critical societal priorities and needs required for lasting and just peace.

Another Mother for Peace was founded in 1967 "to educate women to take an active role in eliminating war as a means of solving disputes between nations, people and ideologies." AMP is a non-profit, non-partisan association.

The International Women's Health Coalition (IWHC) promotes and protects the sexual and reproductive rights and health of all women and young people, particularly in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, by helping to develop effective health and population policies, programs, and funding.

Every Mother Counts is an advocacy and mobilization campaign to increase education and support for maternal mortality reduction globally.

Maternal mortality is nothing short of an epidemic. Worldwide, hundreds of thousands of women die from complications during pregnancy or childbirth each year. These women aren't dying because the health community doesn't know how to prevent their deaths; they are dying because the world is failing to help.

GCNW supports and promotes girls' rights, empowerment, and education by reaching out to and advancing the circumstances of girls wherever they are economically deprived, at risk of abuse, subject to harmful cultural practices, or living in areas of instability.

Global Mothers is the first in a series of initiatives born out of the Transformational Trade Network, which strives to connect women from around the world through a shared experience: Motherhood.

Girls matter. They are tomorrow's women. The Leave No Girl Behind movement affirms to girls and women their own strength. An empowered girl means an empowered family, an empowered nation, and an empowered generation. Our world is in crisis and needs a transformation; the starting point of this transformation is the empowerment of girls — they are the world's greatest untapped resource.

"When you are so focused on pain, anger, hatred and misery, you perpetuate ill health and continue on the quest of being the victim. What if perhaps you think and feel, how can I change this, how can I heal this? With love and willingness to surrender to finding peace in your own heart, will the seed grow." ~Kathleen M. Milliken

We believe people in developing countries know best how to solve their own problems. That's why we forge partnerships with carefully-screened, indigenous partner organizations that understand, and are part of, the local culture.

A lack of awareness in our country, coupled with the explosion of the Internet, makes the job of the pimp and the recruiter extremely easy and the job of law enforcement extremely difficult. The scope of this horrific crime seems impossible, but each person can make a difference by teaching their own children about the traps of traffickers and knowing the red flags to watch for in other children.

Our vision is for a world where: (1) men and women work together to secure the right of women to a life without violence, (2) violence against women is actively addressed and openly discussed by men and women, and (3) men and boys step up to prevent and stop violence against women (VAW).
