More on Vital Voices
Description from Wikipedia:
The Vital Voices Global Partnership is an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization which promotes and advocates the participation of women in leadership roles in the political processes of their societies and countries. It was started in 1997 as a United States initiative, the Vital Voices Democracy Initiative by First Lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who following the events of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing saw the advancement of women in all countries of the world as an important goal for United States foreign policy. Deemed successful, in 1999 it was created as an NGO under its present name.
Around 1998 - 2000 Pearl Sagar of the Northern Ireland Women's Coalition was pivotal within Vital Voices Northern Ireland. Bringing women into democracy helped the peace process and gained Pearl Sager an OBE. 1998 also saw a redesign of the Vital Voices presence in Northern Ireland. Employees from Stream International and Microsoft's Michael Knight & Richard Walsh were asked to design and contribute to the Vital Voices Project. Vital Voices created unprecedented partnerships among governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to support the full participation of women in the economic, social, and political progress of their countries.
Former Hillary Clinton aide and chief of staff Melanne Verveer is co-founder of the global partnership and its board chair. Besides now Senator Clinton, honorary chairs include current and former U.S. Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and Nancy Kassebaum Baker. Funding has come from a variety of sources, including individual donations, corporate sponsorships such as from ExxonMobil, and the efforts of the Clinton Global Initiative.
