About Us

The welfare of women and children, especially those living in extreme poverty, is central to our mission and everything we do.

UNANIMA International is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) with Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Founded in 2002, we now represent 23 Congregations of Women Religious, comprising 25,000 people in 85 countries.

How We Help

We advocate on behalf of women and children experiencing extreme poverty and homelessness/ displacement, migrants and refugees, victims of human trafficking, and environmental issues at the United Nations, with the aim to educate and influence policymakers at the global level. We work to occupy spaces of power on behalf of those who can’t be present, in order to infuse the conversation with the perspectives, experiences, and needs that would otherwise be absent.
