Our Vision
To make our international aim of ‘Education for All Girls and Women’ a reality in our world, because we believe that education gives women the ability and right to make choices about their own lives and that women should have the right to and expect equality in all relationships.
We believe in the old saying: ‘Educate a woman and you educate a family’
Our members recognise how the education they received has shaped and enhanced their lives. They believe that all girls and women should have the opportunity to reach their full potential through access to quality education.
