The WISE Mission

Women’s Issues, Support and Empowerment (WISE) was founded in the Fall of 2005 at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville Alabama.

Once people realize that the problems women face have viable solutions or at least we have a good idea about where to head, it dramatically leverages pressure for change.

The WISE Mission

That is the vision that ignited us in 2005. Since then WISE has been dedicated to bringing these solutions and ideas to the public. The strain experienced by women today stems from human activity including the way we organize the work place, the wages of the jobs that women tend to cluster in, the ideas about appropriate gender expectations, and the over sexualized images of women in the media to name a few. Given that women are the backbones of our communities, it is not an exaggeration to say that the ability of our society to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted. We must do something now to address the problems women face. To this end, the WISE mission is two fold:

We seek to inspire individuals to live in ways that respect the connection of all life, each other and future generations.

We seek to connect people with solutions by exposing individuals to ideas and practices that will create a more peaceful and balanced world.
