Increasing Access to Health Services

Women and youth around the world face barriers to education, economic strengthening, and quality education. At Women Rising International, we work in key locations around the world at the intersection of these issues to change that story—partnering with communities to build lasting, inclusive change.

Co-Founders'
Story

Andrea Bertone and Elise Young

We met in 2014 at a coalition meeting on how to make global development work better for women and disenfranchised communities, and it was sisterhood at first sight. We've worked closely together across 3 organizations, dozens of countries, and with hundreds of talented women and allies to do meaningful work that brings us joy. We've delivered hundreds of dynamic trainings on women's leadership, economic empowerment, gender equality, disability inclusion, and change management; organized 8 learning conferences across a dozen time zones; partnered with hundreds of changemakers across 6 continents; and marched together for global women's rights.
