Harvard GlobalWE is a Shared Interest Group of the Harvard Alumni Association. We are dedicated to the empowerment of women through education, dialogue, and connection among individuals working for women's rights and freedoms worldwide.
GlobalWE Community
Harvard GlobalWE members span the globe, hailing from the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, England, Canada, the USA, and beyond. The diversity of our backgrounds, genders, religions, politics, perspectives, and cultures fuels our conversations and understandings. Our commonality is our unwavering dedication to global women's empowerment: a shared commitment that has drawn us together and continues to attract Harvard alumni from around the world as well as Harvard students, staff, and affiliates.
Our efforts
Harvard GlobalWE does not advocate a specific ideology or agenda; rather, we highlight and raise awareness about issues concerning women's empowerment worldwide, including but not limited to: education, political rights, freedom from violence, economic empowerment, and women's healthcare. Our efforts include worldwide online screenings and discussions of documentaries and films, in-person roundtable discussions with women leaders, and the development of a network of organizations through which our membership can become more actively involved in specific global women's empowerment initiatives.
Perspective
Sharing stories, ideas, and viewpoints.
At Harvard GlobalWE, we seek to explore and represent diverse experiences, ideas and perspectives on issues relating to global women's empowerment. In our Perspectives section, we will be publishing essays written by GlobalWE members, as well as other contributors who can illuminate our understanding of issues facing women in various parts of the world today. Over time, we hope our Perspectives section becomes an anthology of stories and essays representing both the diversity of experience and commonality of commitment to global women's empowerment. Please note that some stories and essays will be published anonomously to protect the privacy of the author and those of whom they write.
