The mission of this organization is to establish a community of support and learning for students from diverse backgrounds interested in exploring and addressing critical issues in international women's health and human rights.   This organization has three major goals: to educate the Stanford community about women's health and human rights, to partner with organizations and establish internship and job opportunities for students interested in working on these issues, and to fundraise and make grants to women's groups worldwide.

This organization will initially focus on planning educational programming for the Stanford community about women's health and human rights issues.   We intend to help spread the message that women's health is not just a woman's issue and will actively work to engage men in recognizing and addressing the unique needs of women as a crucial component in the process of improving these various other societal concerns.

Second, as we develop relationships with local and global women's organizations addressing these issues, we will create and centralize resources for students interested in finding internships and jobs.    We will collaborate with on-campus resources such as the Career Development Center and Haas Center for Public Service so that this information is easily accessible to anyone in the Stanford community.  

Lastly, we hope to collaborate with off-campus philanthropic foundations to develop a component of the organization that will provide students with hands-on grant-making experience.   We will ask foundations such as The Global Fund for Women, to recommend proposals from grassroots women's groups that they have approved.   As a group, we will research and discuss these various proposals and create a selection process for choosing a group(s) to fund.   The grant-making moneys will come from an annual fundraising event which will also promote awareness about the health and human rights issues experienced by the group being funded.
