Support the 1,000 Women Leaders Campaign

Now more than ever communities are facing conflict, displacement, inequality, failing economies and injustice all over the world. The impact of local women leaders is critical during these tumultuous times. When local women peacebuilders, humanitarians and human rights defenders and the nonprofit organizations they lead are adequately financed, their impact is exponential - countries are more likely to reach and sustain peace, economies grow, humanitarian aid reaches farther and opportunity is created for all.

Women are uniquely impacted by crises and have unlimited potential to drive transformative change, yet they remain dramatically underfunded worldwide.

Investing in the work of women civil-society leaders can yield remarkable dividends towards a more peaceful, inclusive and gender-equal world. By the end of 2025, WPHF aims to invest in 1,000 women leaders in 1,000 crisis-affected communities. Less than 0.4% of funding goes to women’s nonprofits in countries experiencing crises. WPHF's 1000 Women Leaders Campaign is accelerating the investment in women by raising $112 million by 2025.

Join WPHF to help raise support for women across the globe who are moving mountains in their communities affected by crises and war. As WPHF Global Advocate Kristen Bell says, “Women make things happen.” And they are - from Afghanistan to Yemen, Haiti to Burundi - women are leading the charge to prevent conflict, respond to crises and create lasting peace in their communities.

Show your commitment to a more peaceful and gender-equal world by supporting extraordinary women leaders.
