Vital Voices is perhaps the strongest and most influential international women’s empowerment group in the world today. Some of the most well known female politicians in the world advocate and actively work to ensure the organization’s prosperity (Do the names Madeline Albright and Hilary Clinton ring a bell?)
In their mission statement they announce, “We identify, invest in and bring visibility to extraordinary women around the world by unleashing their leadership potential to transform lives and accelerate peace and prosperity in their communities.”
It is a program where top government officials, pro bono experts, corporate executives, an international staff and over 1,000 partners train and mentor 8,000 emerging female leaders from all over the world. These women, of a whopping 127 different countries, then go on to train and lead the women and girls back in their homeland. This program has reached over 500,000 women and girls around the world.
At LaLa we believe that a touch of confidence, a dash of empowerment, and a sprinkle of femininity are ingredients that are imperative to change the world. That is why we love to keep our readers informed about global issues concerning women. Look up more about Vital Voices and see what you can do at www.vitalvoices.org
