Support Our Cause With a Donation
Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist once explained "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist, nor to any one organization, but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights." So make International Women's Day your day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women.
See how a donation to the Women in Manifacturing Education Foundation (WiMEF) helps women make breakthroughs in their careers.
