My organisation
Working in the United States, emerging democracies, and democracies in-conflict and post-conflict, Women’s Campaign International (WCI) is a not-for-profit organization that works to empower women to actively engage in public advocacy, market, and political processes. In providing the necessary skills, knowledge, and culturally-sensitive support, we empower women and girls globally to transform their own lives and their communities.
