What We Do

Our Mission is to educate, empower and enable women and girls at home and throughout the world to fulfil their potential. This is how we do it:

We are working to make Derby a Toilet Twinned City

 We challenge students at Derby University to help their peers face tricky issues such as self esteem and poor body image

 We give refugees and asylum seekers in Derby an opportunity to spend time away from the city

  We mark anti-slavery day and collect signatures for our petition to ban sex for sale advertising

 We hold fundraising events for our charities – this is to help three Ethiopian young women finish their education and find work

 On International Women’s Day we publicise our projects – this one is in Kenya to help women farmers improve their output and feed their families

 We look after the garden at a local women’s refuge and we also provide them with welcome packs twice a year

 We join women all over the world to raise awareness of issues facing women

 We give practical help to local projects –at Derby Rape Crisis Suite

        We help communities to help themselves – providing safe water in Cameroun

 We campaign to eliminate violence against women

 

On Human Rights Day, December 10th, we buy and pack Christmas presents for 50 young people leaving care
