“I am so happy I made it to the event this morning. Every speaker shared something unique that we could take with us, I certainly did. I was moved, and energized by the time I left the event, and needless to say, I look forward to attend future events organized by you. As I expressed to you, this kind of event needs a bigger audience! And what ever opportunity I have to spread the word about Women of the World, I'll do it.” Gloria Araya

Women of the World has opened up the world for me. As a result of speaking on the WOTW panel on violence last July, together with other opporunities, I have been invited to attend the 55th Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations which begins this Monday, February 21, 2011. Women - and men - from sixty+ countries will gather to explore ways to improve the educational, economic, health, safety and political well-being of females worldwide. It is the opporunity of a lifetime and WOTW helped plant the seed. Thanks again to you and your dynamic organization as we work to make a difference. It is a privilege to be a WOTW member." - Cheryl Jefferson
