The
mission of the OSI International Women’s Program is to promote and protect the
rights of women and girls in countries where governance structures, the rule of
law, public health, and economic reform need urgent international support, and
where women and girls face extreme economic, psychological, and physical harm
due to armed conflict.

- Organizations located in countries where OSI is active;
- Locally based, locally run, indigenous, independent
nongovernmental organizations;
- Networks or coalitions of NGOs working together;
- Organizations managed and led by women;
- Organizations that forge partnerships with other civil
society groups; and
- Organizations that have a 5+ year track record and
demonstrate sustainability.
