Center for Women's Global Leadership (Global Center)
The Center for Women's Global Leadership develops and facilitates women's leadership
for women's human rights and social justice worldwide. The Global Center was
founded as a project of the Douglass College in 1989 and is a unit of the consortium
of six women's programs at Rutgers University created to study and promote how
and why women lead, and to develop programs that prepare women of all ages to
lead effectively. Since 1990, the Global Center has fostered women's leadership
in the area of human rights through women's global leadership institutes, strategic
planning activities, international mobilization campaigns, UN monitoring, global
education endeavors, etc. The Global Center works from a human rights perspective
with an emphasis on violence against women, sexual and reproductive health and
socio-economic well-being.
