The Circle NGO

Founded by Annie Lennox in 2008, The Circle is inspired by the fact that when women come together they can be a powerful force for change. The Circle's Mission: To inspire and connect women – create an environment where women can come together: to share experiences, harness their skills, draw on their resources, influence and bring about lasting change. Ultimately to support some of the most disempowered women and girls in the world as they challenge the injustice of inequality. Individual Circles are connecting hubs where members of The Circle, with a shared geographical or sector specific connection, come together and focus on specific gender-based issues to support The Circle's projects and amplify the voices of the most vulnerable women and girls globally.
