Global feminism in solidarity and action.

ANNIE LENNOX
singer, songwriter & activist

The Circle sprang from the notion that when women support, connect and inspire each other to become advocates and change agents, we can create transformative change. This notion drives our work today and sets our ambitions for a fairer world for women and girls in the future.

As a woman, a mother, an activist, and founder of The Circle, I know that we still have much to do to empower women and end the violence that so many face. At a time when so much polarity and division exist, our vision for ‘global feminism’ offers people from every walk of life, background, gender, or sexual orientation a chance to break down division and join the global community. It ensures we stand shoulder to shoulder in support of human rights, justice and equality for women and girls everywhere and especially in some of the world’s most vulnerable countries.

Our work is ever more important. The World Health Organization estimates that one in three women around the world will face physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. It is endemic. It is close. It is a living reality for millions of women.

I am committed to The Circle creating long-lasting change and contributing to the global movement for women’s equal rights to economic empowerment and freedom from violence. My hope for women and girls everywhere is that we create a better future in a world free from violence and poverty. We can all make a difference and I call on you to join us in the fight for a better world. Your voice, skills, and resources can all make a powerful difference. Join us on the journey!
