Happy International Day of the Girl!

This day is dedicated to celebrating the potential that every single girl has and renewing our fight for equal rights and opportunities for all girls, everywhere. 

We’re proud to announce that on this special day, we won the Girl Rising Creative Challenge! The Challenge received 900 submissions featuring the work of organizations and individuals dedicated to gender equality in 110 countries around the world. We were among 12 organizations selected as winners. As a winning organization, we’ll receive an HP laptop, a mini-printer, and $2,000 towards our work for gender equality. As you know, we are a small, all-volunteer organization, and we stretch every penny to the extent possible to continue our storytelling and advocacy work and our yearly scholarship. This “microgrant” will allow us to do so much more.

We’re so excited about this and we hope you’ll join us in celebrating this accomplishment by sharing our Tweet or Facebook Post with your friends. Thank you for always supporting our work.

As always, feel free to email us ([email protected]) if you have any questions about how we operate and how we spend the donations we receive. Free Women Writers is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, operated entirely by volunteer, and 100% committed to transparency.
