Nonprofit Organization Management

WE BELIEVE in the power of storytelling.WE BELIEVE that although women comprise half of humanity, their stories are not told in that proportion, and this gap causes harm.WE BELIEVE that "woman" is an identity that is meaningful and binds these stories together.WE BELIEVE that stories from close to home and around the world hold equal value.WE BELIEVE in the radical simplicity of GWNP's purpose: to share stories, to claim space, and to hear women's voices.Our mission is to amplify women's voices and experiences through the power of storytelling. Through this archival platform, we engage the personal and collective power of women's lived experiences to create a database of narratives that storytellers, policymakers, scholars, lawyers, and human rights advocates can use to affect change. Whether in conflict studies, medicine, religion, or global activism, women's lived experiences are underrepresented in our knowledge. Our project invites partners to appreciate the joys and challenges and what is potentially unique in women's experiences in the context of global ethical inquiry. With editorial offices in Oxford and Los Angeles, the narratives project administration is managed by volunteer editorial teams. Our partners are connected to local nonprofits and universities in Oxford, the United States, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Colombia, Northern Ireland, Greece, Ghana, Bosnia, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan via our Advisory Board members.  The narratives submitted go through a rigorous editing and legal consent process before publication. We have interviewed combatants, peace activists, religious leaders, rural coffee growers, former political prisoners, refugees, mothers, daughters, and politicians from the USA, Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Israel, Venezuela, Armenia, Kurdistan, Serbia, El Salvador, Thailand, Colombia, South Africa, Nicaragua, Turkey, Egypt, India, China, Ghana, Brazil, and Iraq. The list continues to grow.
