About the Program
The Aspen Institute Forum on
Women and Girls
The Aspen Institute Forum on Women and Girls lifts up promising ideas and leaders and builds on the strength of families to support women and girls in the U.S. and around the world move toward opportunity and equality. The Forum hosts a series of conversations and programs with diverse, creative, and bold social justice leaders to advance women’s economic justice, political participation, civic engagement, and leadership. We enter these conversations with a sense of both urgency and possibility.

“As funders, we need to see bold, audacious, and innovative ideas. Philanthropy can make big systemic change happen. We have the access. We have the autonomy. We have the resources. We have the connections to make change.”
“Poverty is a form of violence with the consent of society.”
