WHO / WHAT IS A SHERO?
SHERO: A female hero; a woman that displays strong heroic traits under tremendous pressure and is triumphant over her circumstances. A SHERO is a Woman who is an active giver, an example of what is possible, and a brilliant inspiration to people of all ages. WE believe that SHEROES are women that have been through extraordinary experiences and have proven to be “SHEROIC” in this efforts.
SHEROES are Victors NOT Victims!!!
Sometimes all it takes is ONE Voice.

RECENT CAUSES
Humanitarian Aid in India
SHEROES United has brought humanitarian aid, school supplies, hygiene kits and “Days for Girls” kits into the furthest reaches of the Himalays in India, where no governmental or NGO has reached before. We are working on bringing additional resources to these areas, as the women have expressed the interest to serve their families and communities more effectively by bringing business and the strategic study of household and small business economics. SHEROES is working with other organizations to bring “business in a box” solutions that have been shown to be effective in other communities.
Women’s Leadership to Stop Violent Sexual Assault in Democratic Republic of Congo
Important civic leaders from the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) have reached out to SHEROES United, asking us to please help them with the rampant issue of rape in their country—the darkest place on the planet for women. More than 62,000 violent rapes occur every 24-hours, and the assaults often leave women with devastating damage physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. Rape has been used in Congo as a weapon of war for decades, and has become a household issue. In Congo as well as in nearby Sudan, women are not only used as spoils of war, but also even as pay for soldiers, and are not allowed to say “no” or even look at the man on pain of death—with absolutely no consequences. SHEROES has developed a leadership program for Congolese women, and this has been shared and presented to Congolese refugees from Canada, US, France, Italy and the UK. SHEROES United would like to dramatically expand the availability and impact of this program, so that these Congolese women are able to teach one another, the males in their lives, and their sisters back in the DRC and surrounding areas the life-skills, personal mastery and leadership skills that are possible to change belief systems into positive self-image and healthy constructs of what is possible for women, their families and communities.
OUR KEY PILLARS
Many times, someone with a cause will come to us, seeking solutions.
We also carefully seek out those projects where we know we can make the greatest impact.
Abolishing Human & Sex Trafficking
With an estimated 21 million people trafficked around the world, including 5.5 million children*, SHEROES United understands the urgency in action and education to stem the tide and to create a powerful movement for positive change. We have created and implemented programs to educate our community and communities worldwide in hands-on training, prevention, and highly visible action and interaction with community members in order to bring this light and change.
Eradicating Domestic Violence
1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. SHEROES United is making a powerful stand for change, taking action, providing essential education and global activism in laws and community consciousness, as well as preventative programs, life-skills training and culturally-conscious education.
Supporting Our Women Warriors
Women who are involved in the armed services, police work and other first-responder positions are estimated to be at extremely high-risk for rape, assault, and emotional trauma in regards to their work as warriors on behalf and inside their communities. SHEROES United provides a safe place to voice stories, receive education, life-skills, and much-needed to support to thrive inside and outside of the military and first-responder positions.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
Wiping Out the Number One Killer of Women in 3rd World India
Cervical cancer is almost eradicated in the developed world, where detection is made quickly and treatments are readily available. But in the developing world, where doctors and equipment are scarce, many more women die of the disease—as many as 90 percent of the 250,000 women who die of it annually worldwide. A cross-disciplinary team of University of Utah students hopes to solve this problem with a new handheld treatment device, Cinluma.
Your support gives the I AM A SUPERWOMAN movement the ability to service individuals with resources including powerful education, safe housing, treatment, medical, and legal counsel. Your generosity will empower more women to step up to use their voice to affect positive change.
