Wake Up and sign our pledge.

I pledge to stand with women and girls, to spread the word about the challenges they face, the potential they hold and the simple solutions that help them survive and thrive.

Our growing community of pledge signers:

Millions of women walk 4 miles daily carrying as much as 40 pounds of water.

1,440 women die from preventable, pregnancy-related causes

1,152 women are raped in Democractic Republic of the Congo

Every day, millions of women confront serious threats to their safety, their health, their livelihoods, and their dignity, even in their own homes. Yet given a chance, they have the strength to transform their families, their communities and our world.
