The Women and Girls Foundation promotes social change in our region by addressing fundamental social inequalities and raising the awareness of these inequities to the media, to voters, to legislators, and corporate and non-profit decision makers. By serving as an independent and clear voice, the foundation will strive to bring together women and men in our region to work together to find solutions to create sustained equity for all of its citizens.
