Friday, October 11 – International Day of the Girl Event: Give to Women and Girls Day
Time: 10:30 am / 7 am PT
While nearly 50,000 U.S. organizations are dedicated to women and girls, the Women & Girls Index (WGI) consistently shows that less than 2% of all philanthropic support goes to these organizations.
Together Women Rise is partnering with Women’s Philanthropy Institute, Amplify Her® Foundation, and other organizations to host a Give to Women and Girls Day celebration at New-York Historical Society, to call attention to the gap in philanthropic support for women and girls — using this moment to galvanize awareness and funding.

Book: Radical Inclusion: Seven Steps to Help You Create a More Just Workplace, Home, and World by David Moinina Sengeh
Speaker: Jean Paul Murunga – Program Officer, End Sexual Violence with Equality Now
Summary: As the newly appointed minister of education in Sierra Leone, David Moinina Sengeh assumed that the administration he served—not to mention his family and friends—shared his conviction that all girls belong in the classroom. He was shocked to learn that many of those closest to him, including a member of his own household, were against lifting a long-standing policy banning pregnant girls from school.
Radical Inclusion is the dramatic narrative of Sengeh’s drive to guarantee pregnant girls’ right to an education. His story functions as a parable that can help us all advocate for change by reimagining the systems that perpetuate exclusion.
