The GFWC Antelope-North County Women’s Club is supporting a program called Women for Women, Intl. This group helps women in war torn areas of the world. Since 1993, Women for Women International have mobilized more than 250,000 women and men in 130 countries worldwide to reach out and support women survivors of war – one woman at a time. Queen Rania serves Chair of the Royal Commission on Human Rights and as the Global Ambassador of Women for Women International.
Queen Rania of Jordon says “Empowering women today is, perhaps, the single greatest legacy we can bestow upon our children. Our daughters, watching in admiration, will be inspired to emulate our initiatives and excel in their chosen fields. Our sons, proud of the positive changes they see not only in their families but also in society, will recognize the value of empowering women. Ultimately, we will all benefit from a more cohesive and active global community, renowned for respecting each other and proud of the strong foundations it has built, together.”

I was so happy because another woman, a mother, is writing to me from the other side of the world.”- A participant from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
