Mission
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.
