Feminist Majority Foundation Mission & Principles
The Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF) was created to
develop bold, new strategies and programs to advance women's
equality, non-violence, economic development, and, most
importantly, empowerment of women and girls in all sectors
of society. All programs of the FMF endeavor to include
a global perspective and activities to promote leadership
development, especially among young women. Along with reproductive
rights and access to reproductive technology, the FMF's
programs have focused on the empowerment of women in law,
business, medicine, academia, sports, and the Internet.
Its sister organization, the Feminist Majority (formerly
Fund for the Feminist Majority), has focused on empowering
women in public policy-making as well as gender balance
in elective and appointive offices.
