International Convocation of Unitarian Universalist Women

We are a global partnership of Unitarian Universalists who work for all women’s and girls’ equity through Unitarian Universalist connections around the world.

ICUUW is a global NGO working worldwide to advance women's leadership, self-determination, and equity. We are in special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), focusing on global women’s rights and empowerment.

We connect women to advance women’s leadership and self-determination. We work together to end all forms of discrimination by working for a world in which women

• Can pursue their dreams and goals, free from physical or psychological violence, including in the digital space
• Are leaders and participate in all aspects of their societies, including, but not limited to, faith, civil, and business organizations, and in environmental decision-making and peace building at all levels
• Have equal access to economic opportunities
• Have equal access to education
• Have access to affordable, comprehensive, and quality health care, including reproductive care

Guiding Principles

In everything we do, we

• promote U*U values of affirming the inherent worth of all individuals and by working for justice and fostering global community
• respect the capabilities and contributions of all women everywhere in every way
• include all women, regardless of religion, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, class, ethnicity, or age

As a global organization we are aware of the intricacies of intercultural dialogue. Our members are a diverse group and how we work together is as important to us as what we do. Learning how to be better in global community - how to be in right relations - is an ongoing process. Every member contributes to this global dialogue, and every voice is equally important.
