An Update on Your Growing Impact

Read the latest Global Impact Review: “From Pain to Power: Authoring a New Future” for highlights from a tumultuous year that gave rise to incredible leadership.

We saw women rising from the ashes of their experiences to hold up the hands of women and girls left behind.

-Sherna Alexander Benjamin, World Pulse Digital Ambassador, Trinidad and Tobago

When we are connected, supported, and heard, women are an undeniable force for change. And the last year has proven more than ever that we are more powerful and resilient together.

Across the globe, the women and allies of World Pulse have been rising up online and banding together to create positive offline social change - ultimately building a better future for us all.

You spoke up and took action last year, and your movements for change lifted your communities. We listened to your stories and feedback, and when we reached out with an annual community survey, we heard back from 589 members of our community from 72 countries who shared with us the ways they have used World Pulse to impact themselves and others.

We asked about how World Pulse has impacted their lives and communities, and despite a year where women’s progress rolled back a generation, our community reported back incredible results:
