Advancing disability rights and leadership globally®

On March 8th, International Women’s Day, we celebrate the hundreds of disabled women leaders from 89 countries who have participated in MIUSA’s Women’s Institute on Leadership and Disability (WILD). We invite you to join us in honoring these leaders and change-makers with disabilities!

As we celebrate this International Women’s Day, we are approaching our 11th Women’s Institute on Leadership and Disability (WILD) in Eugene, Oregon. In June 2025, we will bring together 25 disabled women activists from Afghanistan, Armenia, Bhutan, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mexico, Mozambique, Nepal, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Romania, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

We believe in the power of WILD, but we can’t do this without you!

We invite you to be part of this incredible global movement of disabled women leaders, by supporting the WILD 2025 Fundraising Campaign. We are so close to our fundraising goal – please help us get there!

Please make a donation to our Women’s Leadership Fund today.

We also invite you to watch this powerful video from WILD alumna, Ramatu Princess Kanu, as she shares about the impact WILD had on her and her community in Sierra Leone.

Most importantly, join us in thanking disabled women activists and allies around the world – including many international development organizations – who are leading the way to include disabled women and girls as leaders and participants in all their programs.

Thank you to our generous supporters for believing in all we do.

– Susan Sygall, CEO and Co-founder, and all of us at MIUSA
