A Call to Advocate for Women and Girls

Join us for our 2026 Advocacy Chapter orientation webinar, open to all who want to learn how advocacy plays a critical role in advancing and sustaining programs that empower women and girls around the world. At a time when hard-won gains for gender equity and global development are increasingly under threat, advocacy is more important than ever.

During this session, we’ll share highlights and impact from our advocacy work in 2025 an unprecedented year in cuts to foreign aid. Together Women Rise members helped influence policies and funding decisions that affect women and girls globally and the work of Rise grantees. You’ll also learn how our Advocacy Chapter partners with RESULTS to engage Congress and decision-makers—and how you can be part of this work in the year ahead.

We’re honored to welcome Zsuzsi Lippai, CEO of The Fuller Project (a Rise Transformation Partner), as our featured guest speaker. Zsuzsanna will reflect on the power of storytelling, journalism, and advocacy to drive systemic change for women and girls, and why sustained civic engagement is essential in this moment.

What you’ll gain:

• A snapshot of our 2025 advocacy impact and successes
• An introduction to the Together Women Rise Advocacy Chapter with RESULTS and ways to get involved
• Inspiration and insight from Zsuzsanna Lippai on advancing women’s rights through accountability and narrative change
• Clear next steps to engage in transformational advocacy when it’s needed most

Whether you’re brand new to advocacy or looking to deepen your impact, this orientation is an opportunity to connect, learn, and take meaningful action for women and girls worldwide
