Dr. Maggie Rodriguez, a child sexual and physical abuse survivor began the first Women Arise conference in September 1996 in Corona Queens, New York.

Now through the Women Arise organization the sole purpose is to train and equip women so that they may become victorious over their suffering and pain. Read more.

In 2019 we celebrated our first “Girl Arise” conference with the goal of providing some scholarship for girls to start their college fund. We gave out seven scholarships. Our goal is to hold these annual conferences and scholarship as many girls possible. We believe we can change the way the world views girls, one girl at a time.
