Women's Empowerment Volunteer Programs Abroad

Volunteering abroad in women’s rights is rewarding and important work. If you are passionate about gender equality and want to learn more about the realities of the issue around the world, women’s right volunteer work is a great choice for you. While some of the issues facing women in developing countries are incredibly daunting, international volunteers can still make an impact through community development, education, outreach, and individual support. Expect to be challenged, surprised, and moved by the conversations you have with the women you meet and come home with an entirely new perspective.

Monica's house and everything she had to offer was amazing and I am so grateful for how welcoming she was. Michael was also extremely welcoming and helpful, especially to lighten the mood and help me learn Spanish. Thank you so much!

Why Volunteer Abroad

Women’s rights is an excellent area for volunteering abroad because many different majors and areas of expertise can all work together toward a common goal of women’s empowerment. Supporting women and girls in developing countries is vital volunteer work - research has shown that communities with strong female leaders are more successful than ones who do not value equality. You may live in a country that has issues with sexism but does not struggle with the intense challenges facing women in developing nations - some of these challenges are prioritizing male births, girls being blocked from going to school, women not being considered for jobs, and even mutilating and killing girls. As you can see, these issues are complex and layered and require people of diverse backgrounds to work together - both men and women - to help begin to solve these issues.

Whether you are interested in politics, business, history, science, technology, medicine, education, and the list goes on, there is probably something you can contribute to when it comes to the global fight for gender equality. Volunteering in women’s rights can allow you to build relationships with local women who have amazing stories and experiences, and probably more in common with you than you think. By working towards specific goals, you can build genuine connections and begin to see the world from a new perspective.
