Review for Womens Intercultural Network Inc, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

From my introduction to the Women’s Intercultural Network to my involvement with WIN as a current board member, I have developed an appreciation for the dynamism of WIN in connecting women across cultures personally and virtually for collective action and mutual understanding. More than a million women and organizations are currently connected internationally and nationally in 30 states in the United States and ever growing under the leadership and management of WIN’s President and CEO Marilyn Fowler. Marilyn has more than 30 years of experience in organizing and managing organizations to respond to the concerns of women and girls. WIN’s strength is that WIN does not duplicate what other women’s organizations do. WIN connects these organizations and amplifies what they do for collective action for the common good. I know of no other organization whose mission is to be the mechanism to allow women on the ground the ability to communicate beyond geographic boundaries what they do to tackle tough issues affecting women and girls. These issues are identified in the platform for action developed from the United Nations Beijing Women’s conference in 1995 to advance the goals of equality and equity for women and girls. As an NGO with consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, WIN is in a strategic position to organize educational venues at the UN and represent women’s interest to international policy makers. WIN is a testament to what can be accomplished with an effective organizational model and dedicated leadership. WIN has been the premiere network that organizes; not an organization that networks. With your financial assistance, WIN has the potential to amplify the voices of many more women and girls. Join now so WIN can amplify what you are as a woman and what your organization represents on behalf of women. Check out WIN’s website at http://www.win-cawa.org.
