We women is a foundation that strives to achieve equality for various groups of people in the world. The foundation assists women, refugees, ethnic minorities, and disadvantaged groups with their questions, struggles and needs, as they are formulated within their own terms. Academic research is the first step in this process because it helps to gain insight into local beliefs, practices and ambitions. The key areas of We women's engagement include personal growth, social inclusion, (mental) health, education, and the encouragement of creative initiatives, with the ultimate goal of achieving equality for all. The We women foundation has been based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, since 2010, where we have been developing and implementing the We women from Burma Project. This project promotes the education and well-being of unrecognized refugee women from Burma. The Foundation targets women whose passions, goals and motivations implicate them as future leaders of Burma. We women provides a much needed service to women from Burma by offering them the opportunity to succeed in higher education. Each year the We women foundation supports a select number of qualified women as they prepare themselves for leadership in their country and communities. We women assists students as they prepare themselves for university by advising them during the application process and throughout their job search. During each woman's period of study, the We women foundation provides scholarship funding for their university tuition, as well as academic tutoring and coaching. In order to provide long-term support, We women assists its alumni in their search for positions as they enter the professional world. The long-term aim of the We women from Burma project is to assist unrecognized refugee women into obtaining higher positions within policy making or influential organizations so that they then can empower other women and their communities, on their own terms.In order to realise our long-term objective, the We women foundation intends to make higher education accessible for the future female leaders of Burma. In addition, we assist them where possible in the process of professional development. To this end we have developed a number of short-term goals: To ensure prospective students have the necessary qualifications and documentation to be admitted to a university of their choice, so they can make well informed and realistic decisions about their future education. To grant scholarships to the most promising students, so they can successfully enroll at the university of their choice and not experience financial restraints while completing their degrees. To support and coach students during their studies at university, so they can successfully complete their degree and gain all the theoretical knowledge they need for their future careers. To create opportunities for students to gain practical working experience in an internship setting, so they can put their education and theoretical knowledge into practice, build their credentials and further develop practical expertise. To assist alumni in obtaining key positions in policy making and influential organizations. To research community needs in order to improve existing programs and create new programs with research results. To provide a gender program that addresses gender issues in the community in order to promote gender equality and create a platform for women leaders. These goals are collectively addressed by our programs, which jointly make up the We women from Burma project.

Mission Statement: Family Renewal Shelter is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to bringing healing hope and a new life to victims of domestic violence. Founded in 1986, Family Renewal Shelter is a confidential domestic violence shelter in Pierce County WA. We serve primarily high risk victims of domestic violence who believe that they must escape their abusive relationship and go into hiding or they will possibly be murdered by their abusive partner. For some victims this is the only chance they have to stay alive as domestic violence claims thousands of victims every year in our country. The cost to our society has been enormous. By helping thousands of victims in our 25 year history we have discovered that there is hope and healing that has given countless families an opportunity to start over safe and secure and with promising future.

In addition we provide community-based education and training to create the social change that is critical to break the cycle of violence. We help men, women and children and their family members--of any age, race, religion and gender, impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault and child abuse in the communities of Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford and Trumbull.

MMIW USA's number one mission is to bring our missing home and help the families of the murdered cope and support them through the process of grief. We give them hands-on support and guidance and if we don't have the answers, we get the answers so that these families do not feel abandoned and alone in this struggle like so many have before them. Our broader goal is to eradicate this problem so that the future generations thrive. We are doing that through education of the threats that they face and self-defense. We started a monthly program to do just that. It is called Staying Sacred and we educate and have self-defense lessons at every meeting. Our strength lies in the fact that every single one of the staff and volunteers have been assaulted or trafficked and our passion is to be the kind of organization that we needed growing up and beyond.

Women in the Midwest and South are subject to restrictive laws, which imply that women are either unfit or unqualified to make decisions about their lives, their families, and their current or future children. A few laws which simply make abortion access difficult include: 1. Punitive and prejudicial laws placed on the structure of clinics that provide abortions (i.e. TRAP Laws or targeted regulation of abortion providers). 2. Medically unnecessary requirements for abortion providers to have hospital privileges, a stipulation that has closed dozens of clinics across the country. 3. Prohibiting private insurance from covering abortion care. 4. Requiring a 24-hour waiting period. 5. Mandating Notarized Dual Parental Consent for minors. IN ADDITION, in this part of the country, women are subject to other expenses to access abortion care, including: 1. Costs for longer travel to get to an abortion provider. 2. Costs for caring for their current children. 3. Missed pay to take off of work for their appointment.
