"*Glamour* readers like you have responded to past Women of the Year honorees by donating to the causes they support; your generosity has helped fund programs to stop child marriage in Yemen through the Girls World Communication Center, provided counseling for former child soldiers in Uganda via Empowering Hands and funded Mukhtar Mai's shelter for women in Pakistan and Somaly Mam's work on behalf of former sex slaves in Cambodia. This year, *Glamour* is proud to celebrate the brave efforts of Iran's One Million Signatures Campaign.\n\n\n\nInspired by your example, *Glamour*'s Women of the Year Fund initiative raises money for extraordinary charities. Through your combined efforts and donations, you are effecting real change for women everywhere.\n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to the Jenzabar Foundation, founded by 1990 Woman of the Year Ling Chai, for working with us once again and for donating to this year's initiative.\n\n\n\n### This Year's Fund Recipient\n\n\n\nThe Fund is working with the Jenzabar Foundation, a nonprofit cofounded by 1990 Woman of the Year and Tiananmen Square hero Ling Chai, to create a scholarship program that will help Iranian women study at U.S. universities. (Because the One Million Signatures campaign cannot accept donations, the scholarship program is not affiliated with the group.)\n\n\n\n__[Donate to the scholarship ](http://www.thejenzabarfoundation.org/ICS/Donate/)__\n\n\n\n__[To apply for the scholarship e-mail: women.of.the.year@thejenzabarfoundation.org](mailto:women.of.the.year@thejenzabarfoundation.org) __\n\n \n\nThe Fund initiative is also supporting a program of economic education and development for Iranian women run by Vital Voices, a nonprofit dedicated to training women leaders. (Again, because the One Million Signatures Campaign cannot accept donations, this program is not affiliated with the group.)\n\n\n\n__[Donate to Vital Voices](https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/440/t/10113/shop/custom.jsp?donate_page_KEY=5477) __"
