Lean IN's MISSION: We help women achieve their ambitions and work to create an equal world.

More than 50,000 women have started Lean In Circles in 184 countries, and new Circles are starting every day. Circles bring together women from all walks of life. In these small groups, women get and give peer mentorship, sharpen their skills, and have a place to be unapologetically ambitious.

Lean IN advocates for better public policies and a more equitable workplace, because to make lasting change, we need institutional change.

Our Equal Pay Day campaigns take aim at the gender pay gap. Our annual Women in the Workplace study — the largest of its kind — highlights the barriers women face and includes data-driven recommendations for how companies can do better. Our Mentor Her initiative calls on men to mentor and sponsor women, which is critical for workplace equality. On vital issues like sexual harassment and paid family leave, we take a stand.
