Women Thrive Worldwide’s (Women Thrive) mission is to advocate for change at the U.S. and global levels so that women and men share equally in the enjoyment of basic capabilities, economic assets, voice, access to decent livelihoods, and freedom from fear and violence. We ground our work in the realities of women living in poverty, partner with locally based women’s organizations, and create powerful coalitions to advance the interests of women, families, and communities worldwide. Our vision is a world in which women and men work together as equal partners to secure better lives for themselves and their families.
