What People Saying About Women Thrive Worldwide (formerly Women's Edge Coalition) "I wholeheartedly support the mission and work of Women's Edge Coalition because I believe that systemic advocacy is the most effective pathway towards change. While the U.S. government claims to value women’s social and economic advancement, empty promises are too easy for politicians to make. When savvy women leverage their power to pressure government to keep promises, progressive causes prosper and women around the world benefit." -- Jacqueline Mann, donor and supporter of Women's Edge Coalition (New York) "The MCA-Women's consultation officially ended yesterday at 5.30 p.m. It was very successful, and at the end of the we were able to achieve all the objectives of the consultation. It was a moment of joy and moment of victory especially for the women here in Sri Lanka who struggle for social justice and empowerment. All the participants were jubilant and elated! They all felt the power of togetherness. All this was possible because of you. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for assisting and helping us to make this event a success. Thank you so much."
-- Irangani Magedaragamage, Chairperson/National Coordinator
-- Connie Morella, U.S. Ambassador to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and former Congresswoman in the 8th District, Maryland  “The Women’s Edge Coalition has quickly become an important resource for Congress on how best to consider the needs of women and girls in formulating development and trade policy. The organization is making a real impact on the lives of women and girls around the world, and I am proud to work closely with such a talented and passionate group of people.”-- Nita Lowey, Congresswoman 18th District New York
-- Charles McCormack, President and CEO Save the Children, Westport Connecticut “We in the U.S. have joined the struggle in a different way now [after September, 11th 2001], unequivocally experiencing directly the pain, rage, fear and enormous need to find a new path to peace. The importance of the Women's Edge message has never been greater.” -- Carol Richards, Ph.D., Co-founder, Burma Forum Los Angeles Women’s Edge Coalition Individual Member  “I commend the Women’s Edge Coalition in its effort to bring together diverse organizations and authentic voices dedicated to improving women’s economic, political and social status. The Sierra Club recognizes the local, national and international impact that empowering women has for improving the equality of their lives and shared environment.”-- Carl Pope, Executive Director The Sierra Club, San Francisco, California Lutheran World Relief values the Women's Edge Coalition because it really is on the cutting edge in focusing on the impact of economic globalization on the status of women around the world. As trade flows increasingly dwarf aid flows, this must become a major area for educational outreach and policy advocacy by non-governmental organizations working for social justice and gender equity. -- Kathryn Wolford, President Lutheran World Relief, organizational member
