Our mission is to empower women’s full and effective participation at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life.
We believe that women leadership guided by love and empathy is needed now more than ever. We have established programs that help women to feel more confident and we promote the principle that women support women. In June 2018 we launched the social format “She in Plovdiv”, which serves as a safe space and a network for women to connect and support each other. The format of the ‘She in…’ events is simple and has proven very popular: every month, in each of the 11 cities where we now work, we provide a platform for two women from the local community to share their stories and speak about their successes and the challenges they face. The ‘She in…’ events are all community-organized thanks to our dedicated local volunteer teams.

Across Bulgaria we have organized 71 ‘She in…’ events that have given the floor to a 140 women. The format of the ‘She in…’ events is simple and has proven very popular: every month, in each of the 11 cities where we now work (Plovdiv, Varna, Gabrovo, Veliko Tarnovo, Sandanski, Stara Zagora, Pleven, Montana, Vidin, Vratsa and Lovech), we provide a platform for two women from the local community to share their stories and speak about their successes and the challenges they face.
