Initiative 2021-2030 and Editor and Chief of the EmpowerHer Newsletter, announced the launch of
the latest 6th edition of the EmpowerHer Newsletter.
EmpowerHer has always been more than just a newsletter; it's a platform dedicated to uplifting and
empowering women across the globe. Our mission has been to inspire change, foster inclusivity, and
amplify the voices of women from all walks of life.
Mariam, the Editor-in-Chief, had this to say in her editorial…
In a world where women continue to break barriers and shatter glass ceilings, our mission at
EmpowerHer remains steadfast: to champion the cause of women's development and provide them
with remarkable opportunities to thrive. We believe that true empowerment knows no boundaries,
transcending sectors, and industries. In this editorial, we delve into our multi-sectoral approach to
women's development and the incredible opportunities that lie ahead.
Education: Unlocking Potential Education has always been the cornerstone of empowerment. We
are committed to enhancing access to quality education for women of all ages and backgrounds. By
supporting scholarships, mentorship programs, and STEM initiatives, we are equipping women with
the skills and knowledge they need to excel in diverse fields, from science and technology to the arts
and humanities.
Entrepreneurship: Nurturing Innovation Entrepreneurship empowers women to shape their
destinies and contribute to economic growth. EmpowerHer actively supports female entrepreneurs
through workshops and networking events. We believe that fostering a thriving ecosystem for
women-led startups not only benefits individual entrepreneurs but also propels our society forward.
