Women Beyond Borders is a student-organized women’s human rights organization that works in solidarity with community-based women’s organizations worldwide to ensure women’s equality in all sectors. We partner with organizations that are run by women for women, and which meet a need in their respective communities that larger, international or government funded organizations may not. Through local fundraising we help fund women’s aid projects operated by our sister organizations, and through lobbying and education we strive to defend the basic human rights of women worldwide. Locally, we are committed to educating our own community about the status of women in the world, as well as ensuring the well-being and empowerment of our hard-working members, each of whom enliven this group with their passion and dedication as they tirelessly inspire social change.
Since our inception in 2005, Women Beyond Borders has partnered with the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, The Shirkat Gah Women’s Center in Pakistan, the Casa Amiga Crisis Center in Mexico, and the Lost Boys and Girls of Sudan, raising about $35,000 for women worldwide.
