What is 4 Real Women International?

4 Real Women International, Inc. (4RWI) is a 501 (c) 3 non-denominational, multilingual, multicultural, multigenerational, non-profit franchise run by women for women, and their families, with operations in the United States and internationally.

Through its bi-annual magazine, Empowerment 4 Real Women, articles written by the 4RWI Empowerment Team Members, serve to provide awareness, understanding and practical solutions to some of the most common issues women around the globe face today.

4RWI also believes that every woman is empowered when she understands that she deserves the freedom to rediscover herself and has the right to learn how to live her best life. This is why we have partnered with COMPASS in the areas of: Life Balance, Money and Career, Relationships, Wellness, Spirituality and coaching for teens.

The ultimate goal of 4RWI, Inc. empowerment efforts is to challenge women to see that regardless of their present or past circumstances, they have a purpose. 4RWI, Inc. helps women to see themselves as agents of change and to take full ownership of the countless possibilities that lie within them.

We challenge women to see that they have a purpose, that they too are agents of change and that they can use their talents and skills to maximize them into possibilities. In so doing, they are able to take their rightful places in society and this world and fulfill their purpose.

The mission of 4RWI, Inc. is to help women by equipping them with leadership and empowerment skills to effectively change their lives, the lives of their families, and their communities.

We work towards the advancement of women by encouraging local and global mentorship and the building of supportive networks. We seek to change multi-level systems (individual, family and social) in which women traditionally do not have a voice and often serve to perpetuate the oppression of women in cycles and circles of abuse, toxic relationships, under-representation, misrepresentation and under-development.

How does 4RWI, Inc. fulfill its mission?

We do this by increasing women's understanding of themselves, their families, and their societies; and their roles as leaders within these systems.

We assist in helping women to seek personal purpose and meaning by placing them on a persistent quest for self-improvement.

We do this through the planning and facilitation of ongoing innovative insight-gaining progams and activities for individual or group settings. We create, develop, present, and sponsor online and on-site workshops, seminars, group interventions, support groups, peer-counseling and mentoring that empowers women - regardless of race, ethnicity, age, nationality or economical status.
