Vital Voices Global Leadership Chapter Network
Vital Voices Chapters have been established in Argentina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. Chapters are independent organizations that share Vital Voices’ vision and mission, embodying the “pay it forward” principle. As Vital Voices’ premier regional partners, they conduct independent programming and fundraising, establishing strategic partnerships and dynamic networks of women leaders. Vital Voices Chapters develop context-specific, targeted programs at the local level. Over the years, they have successfully carried out a diverse array of interventions in line with
Vital Voices’ three issue areas: Human Rights, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development, and Political and Public Leadership. Chapters promote women’s full participation in society by: `` Fostering mentoring and leadership `` Delivering technical capacity-building `` Leveraging networks and public-private partnerships `` Implementing awareness-raising campaigns `` Driving advocacy for attitudinal and policy change `` Convening forums and summits
“Women leaders make a difference because they invite other people to join them, they want to create change--and that is what a leader is, someone who creates change, someone who makes their knowledge a part of a whole.” – Cecilia Martinez, Executive Director, Voces Vitales Honduras
