Description:
How women around the world are leading powerful change


Women's progress is global progress. Where there is an increase
in women's university enrollment rates, women's earnings, and
maternal health, and a reduction in violence against women, we see
more prosperous communities, better educated, healthier families,
and the preservation of equal human rights. Yet globally, women
remain the most consistently under-utilized resource. Vital
Voices calls for and makes possible transformative leadership
around the world.


In Vital Voices, CEO Alyse Nelson shares the stories of
remarkable, world-changing women, as well as the story of how Vital
Voices was founded, crossing lines that typically divide. For 15
years, Vital Voices has brought together women who want to enable
others to become change agents in their governments, advocates for
social justice, and supporters of democracy. They equip women with
management and business development skills to expand their
enterprises and create jobs in their communities. Their voices,
stories, and hard-earned lessons?shared here for the first
time?are deeply authentic and truly vital.
