Leadership—For and By Women
At HERproject, we are privileged to work with women leaders across the entire supply chain, from the boardroom to the factory floor. We’re proud to work with leaders from global brands, who are making major commitments through HERproject to invest in women (and men) in their supply chains. And we’re equally proud to work with women leaders in factories and on farms, who take on the role of peer educators in HERproject and make a difference for their colleagues and friends.
Both kinds of leaders share a fierce commitment to improving the lives of those around them. This commitment connects their efforts: through HERproject, they are ensuring that women around the world can fulfill their potential. These are the people we look at and think: #ThisIsALeader.

Being a leader is a balancing act between being okay with the fact that you're imperfect while also always trying to set an example. Both things are always true for any person.
