2009 marks 20 years of WOMANKIND working to secure women's rights and make their voices heard.
WOMANKIND has helped millions of women and their families, in 71 countries, but there's a long way to go: 70% of the world's poorest people are women and girls; one in three women is beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused; and women account for just 17% of all parliamentarians worldwide.
If you are interested in helping women improve their lives - whether in developing countries or in the UK - there is much here to engage and inspire you.
