SHE IS Remarkable

Celebrating International Women's Day

stand with women


SHE is strong. she is resilient. she is remarkable.

SHE is every woman displaced by disaster or conflict, and today, she needs your help.

In times of crisis, women are disproportionately affected by higher death rates, increased gender-based violence, economic loss, and loss of education. However, women are pivotal in household and community recovery – they are often the first responders to a crisis, and play a central role in the survival and resilience of families and communities.

Join us, stand with her, and help empower women around the world.

We can break down barriers, together

Women and children account for more than 75% of refugees and displaced persons globally.

Maysa and her family were forced to flee their home due to conflict and are now living in a refugee camp.

Maysa provides for her family by running a shoe shop in the camp, and will use the money to prepare her family for a tough and cold winter.

“I am proud and feel somewhat satisfied that we no longer need to receive aid, that I can support my family even if by support I mean survive.”

Together, we can provide women with essential supplies and training to enable them to rebuild their lives and their communities. Together, we can break down barriers and empower women around the world.
