Women
URI founders around the world recognized that the leadership of women is essential, so we are committed to the equitable participation of women and men in all aspects of URI.
More than 1500 members in 40 Cooperation Circles are devoted to projects for women, which focus on domestic violence prevention and counseling, job and skills training, gender equality, education and more. In 2010, eleven CCs joined together to launch a new URI Women's Coalition MCC including CCs focused on women's issues as well as CCs that support and encourage women's leadership on these issues. This new MCC will help create a platform for joint activities, advocacy, communication and sharing of resources; strengthen and support existing women’s CCs; and align with other organizations that share our vision.

It was one way to address a void that still persists decades later.
