About

We are an all-female team of various ages, faiths, cultures and backgrounds and collectively, have faced common life challenges.

PURPOSE

Our Charity’s purpose is twofold. To support women facing difficult life challenges within a safe listening and learning space, regardless of their circumstances or background and to be a means of supporting increased community cohesion.

Women Stepping Out has been formed following my experience of an unexpected life challenge, while living in a foreign country. I could speak the language, but I ached for women struggling and unable to speak out, so the team is intentionally, multicultural.

MISSION

Our mission is to empower women who feel overlooked or sidelined, by restoring their confidence, rebuilding their sense of identity and supporting them as they move forward with independence, dignity and renewed purpose. Through non-judgmental, culturally authentic, compassionate spaces and practical pathways, we aim to enable diverse, self-sustaining and healthy friendship networks so women feel accepted, grow in confidence and feel empowered within their community.

VALUES

We believe all women have value, deserving to be treated equally and respected, regardless of faith or social, cultural or economic status, lifestyle or background. Meeting together reduces the fear, suspicion and ignorance of different cultures, instead, our common needs and life experiences can be recognised, respected, shared and celebrated.

VISION

A world where women of all cultures feel accepted just as they are, safe, valued, and empowered to thrive as feels right for them. A world where women are fully respected within their community.
