About Tomorrow’s Women:
Tomorrow’s Women trains young women to partner as leaders by transforming anger and prejudice to mutual respect and inspiring action to promote equality, peace, and justice for all. Founded in 2003 out of the realization that it only takes one person to change history, this vision holds true today: we believe that when equipped with the tools, skills, and confidence to lead, the power of just one extraordinary woman can transform conflict with strength and compassion.
