WIC_sparkOur Vision

Every woman. Every girl. Realizing their full potential.

WIC_sparkOur Mission

We create, empower, mobilize and actualize initiatives
to advance the rights of women and girls around the world.

WIC_sparkWhat We Believe

When a woman becomes the fullest expression of who she is, she can change the world.

Unleashing the contribution of women is a critical catalyst
to solving the pressing global challenges of our time.

Men and women coming together as a collective is the strongest force we have
to change the lives of women and girls.

When you invest in yourself or your organization through any of our programs, a portion will be allocated to the Women Igniting Change® Foundation, which supports global women’s initiatives in 9 Key Areas.

Focus Areas

Robbin Jorgensen Women Igniting Change Advocacy

Advocacy

Women and girls make up more than half the world’s population and yet in the majority of the world, their voices are not being heard. Influencing public policy and eliminating discrimination and biases through education and awareness is essential for women and girls to realize their full potential and contribute to their communities and countries in a meaningful way.

Education

Over 60 million girls around the world are denied the right to an education. Many are required to work, forced into an early marriage or face unimaginable violence. When girls receive a quality education, it not only changes their life, but also positively impacts their families, their communities and their country. (Malala.org) Our world needs their gifts and talents.

Entrepreneurship

In societies with rigid views of traditionally male and female roles, frequently reinforced by cultural and religious beliefs, women’s opportunities for engaging in paid work or starting up enterprises are often limited. Women need equal access to credit to invest and expand their business ventures, equal access to markets to sell and develop their products, and equal
opportunities to acquire skills, knowledge and technology. (unido.org)

Robbin Jorgensen Women Igniting Change Gender Equality

Gender Equality

We imagine a world where women and girls are able to participate fully in economic, legal, political, and educational policy making. Where health care for women is a priority, girls and women are seen and treated as equals by everyone in the world and no girl ever feels at a disadvantage for being born female. (Chime for Change) It’s time.

Leadership

It’s time for women to be represented at the highest levels of our society. Currently, women comprise only 20 of the Fortune 500 CEO positions, 17.9% of director seats of the Fortune 1000 companies and 20% of the U.S. Congress. Globally, only 22 Heads of State are women. Our global challenges demand that we include the voices of women leaders into the decision-making process.

Making an Impact

One of the ways we ignite change is through charitable giving. Each year at our IGNITE Live event, we present our Spark Award Honorees with funds to support charities of their choice that serve women and girls.
