Vital Voices Crisis Readiness Program

15/12/2025

The Crisis Readiness Program equips women leaders with the skills to protect themselves, their organizations, and their communities in times of crisis. Developed in collaboration with women leaders from Vital Voices’ global network of 47,000 changemakers, the program was built through a participant-led approach. The guidebook, toolkits, and safety plans linked below offer essential strategies for navigating risks, along with clear checklists to help women prepare for, respond to, and recover from specific crises.
