WHO / WHAT IS A SHERO?
SHERO: A female hero; a woman that displays strong heroic traits- she is fearless, she is a warrior. She is cool under pressure and she is triumphant over her circumstances.
A SHERO is a Woman of any age, color, nationality, or geographic location. SHE is an active giver, an example of what is possible, a brilliant light and hope, and an inspiration to people of all ages. A ROLE MODEL. A Woman you look up to. A Woman you strive to be. This is a Woman you can trust.
We believe that SHEROES are women that have been through extraordinary experiences and have proven to be “SHEROIC” in their efforts.
SHEROES are Victors, NOT Victims!!!

Dignity
Dignity has been stripped away for women in too many communities worldwide, as proven by the level of violence existing in the world and the purchase of women and children as objects and commercial merchandise. All women, all men, and all children are human beings deserving of their dignity, rights and voice. We are guides, teachers and mentors who have been on a powerful journey of healing and change ourselves, and who are willing to take a stand for human dignity worldwide. |
Action
Action is desperately needed in every region of the world, from brothels to boardrooms. Our model creates programs and connects resources in every community throughout the world. We take action in schools, prisons, transition centers and halfway houses. We connect with local and global leaders, engage powerfully through media, events, life skills, education, and collaboration with like-hearted organizations who share the end goal of changing the world for the better, together. |
|
Respect
We embrace healthy cultural accountability. We know that within conscious and respectful boundaries we can influence and create positive change, including policies and action, to fully represent gender equality and dignity of the victorious and glorious female spirit within healthy, global communities. We know that every culture has real beliefs that are healthy, and real beliefs that can be unhealthy. SHEROES respects culture while embracing healthy models. |
Education
We strive to bring powerful education and programs that open paradigms, create positive behavioral change, and bring the healthy connection, ideology, beauty and community that is possible when women are empowered as leaders, honored for their gifts, treated with respect and dignity, and are considered equals in every aspect of society. All programs and education are based on needs in local communities of each chapter worldwide. Just imagine this movement of change! |
RECENT CAUSES
|
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
One in three 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 support to thrive inside and outside of the military and first-responder positions. |
