The Global Sisterhood

The Global Sisterhood is a progressive not-for-profit organization with several ambitious goals. The umbrella goal, underneath which all of our strivings come from, is to change the culture that allows sexual abuse to continue. Girls in America, and all over the world, are raised to be passive, agreeable, and docile. They are raised to put others need in front of their own; to be friendly and "sweet" even in the face of possible danger; to think that their voice, thoughts and opinions do not matter as much as their male counterparts; to blame themselves even when they are the victim. The Global Sisterhood strives to change that. Through advocacy, awareness and empowerment, The Global Sisterhood tries to engender self-esteem, assertiveness and a commitment to education in all of the girls in our program. And when a girl is confident, educated, loved and supported, she is less likely to be sexually assaulted and more likely to heal if she does become a sexual violence survivor. And when girls are free of abuse, they are able to do what we know they are capable of: CHANGE THE WORLD!
