introducing every woman. all things.

Every Woman. All Things. is a transformative initiative launched by The Association of Junior Leagues International to reclaim well-being, and reimagine life where role strain, role conflict and burnout are no longer the cost of being everything to everyone.  It was created to challenge the idea that burnout, role conflict, and doing it all should be the cost of showing up in the world.
 

Together we can help find solutions and lead systemic change to make a profound impact on the world. 

Join us in building a culture that prioritizes well-being over overwork, and meaning over exhaustion. Whether you’re setting boundaries, mentoring others, advocating for change, or simply giving yourself permission to rest—your choices matter.
 

It’s a simple idea: when we support each other, speak up, and make space for what truly matters, we change what’s possible—not just for ourselves, but for every woman, and all things she touches.

WHAT WE DO

The Association of Junior Leagues International, AJLI, guided by its mission to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training, is committed to breaking down barriers that hinder women from achieving success.  Research shows that all the following barriers contribute to negative outcomes in women’s lives – lack of development and leadership opportunities; lack of community and meaningful connection; family and caregiver responsibilities; inadequate women’s wellness and safety measures, and; sexism, stereotypes, and workplace bias.  Through grassroots action and collective international awareness and advocacy, The Junior Leagues works to eliminate all these barriers so women can lead an optimal life.

Caregiving

Women are the primary caregivers for children, aging parents, partners, and loved ones—often managing this labor alongside careers and community commitments. This invisible, unpaid work is the foundation of society, yet it remains undervalued and unsupported. The constant juggling of others’ needs can lead to emotional fatigue, financial strain, and stalled personal or professional growth.

FINANCIAL INSECURITY

Systemic inequality in the workplace, from pay gaps to unpaid leave to lack of advancement, continues to undermine women’s economic security. These challenges are compounded by caregiving demands and mental load, creating a full-spectrum strain on women’s professional lives. 

Shared Responsibility & Mental overload

Women carry the bulk of invisible labor in the home and the workplace—scheduling, remembering, anticipating, and managing everyone else’s needs. This mental overload often goes unnoticed but has real consequences, eroding well-being, increasing stress, and contributing to burnout. Over time, the weight of these responsibilities can limit women’s capacity for personal growth, professional advancement, and even self-care.

Women & Aging

Women experience aging differently than men, often facing overlapping pressures that affect their physical, emotional, and financial well-being. Many carry lifelong caregiving roles—raising children, supporting aging parents, or caring for partners—while navigating their own changing health and identity. These responsibilities often come at the expense of self-care, career advancement, and economic security.
