When you join the Women Igniting Change® We Are The Next Wave movement, you pledge to do your part to create, empower, mobilize and actualize initiatives that advance the rights of women and girls around the world.

We Are the Next Wave calls the current generation to action in the continued fight for women’s rights. The first wave of the women’s rights movement are our ancestral leaders—organizers, like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who coordinated the first Women’s Rights Convention. The subsequent waves fought for the right to vote, the right to reproductive healthcare, the right to equal pay for equal work.

Women Igniting Change® is imploring modern women to add their unique contribution to the next wave.  Using the hashtag #WeAreTheNextWave, we are inviting women to share on social media the ways in which they will further women’s rights.
