Vital Voices Global Partnership

Vital Voices Global Partnership is the largest international non-governmental organization that provides training and mentoring to innovative women leaders working to strengthen democracy, increase economic opportunity, and protect human rights in communities around the world. Founded by Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright in 1997, Vital Voices has trained and mentored more than 14,000 emerging women leaders from over 144 countries in Africa, Asia, Eurasia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East. These women have returned to their communities to train and mentor more than 500,000 women and girls. To realize the global potential that women represent, Vital Voices Global Partnership identifies, invests in and brings visibility to leaders who advance development in ways that benefit society as a whole, concentrating on three main areas: Human Rights; Economic Development and Political and Public Life. An investment in Vital Voices is an investment in the women who improve our world.
