Ashley Steimer-King serves as Senior Program Director of the Feminist Majority Foundation’s Girls Learn International (GLI) program. In this role, she works alongside student leaders, faculty advisors, and program alumni to advance GLI’s mission of empowering middle and high school students of all genders to take bold action for human rights, gender equality, and access to equitable education. With more than 165 school- and community-based clubs across 28 states and 15 countries, GLI trains and mobilizes thousands of young people ages 10–18. Previously, Ashley worked with several NGOs in their United Nations advocacy offices, where she trained middle and high school girls in international human rights education and advocacy. She holds an M.A. in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Roehampton and a B.F.A. from The Ohio State University. Ashley serves on The Pad Project Advisory Council and is a member of the United Nations Working Group on Girls, continuing her commitment to creating spaces where young people can drive meaningful change in their communities.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
