Featuring Reggie Littlejohn,
Founder/President, Women’s Rights Without Frontiers
Reggie Littlejohn exemplifies a powerful combination of credentials, experiences, and insights that set her apart for advocacy – especially for women worldwide. As the founder and President of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, she has worked globally to address a range of injustices that impact women and girls.
Reggie is an acclaimed international expert on China’s One Child Policy. Her organization has been called the “leading voice” in the battle to expose and oppose forced abortion and gendercide (the sex-selective abortion of baby girls) in China.
Women’s Rights Without Frontiers is saving lives in China through their “Save a Girl” campaign. This campaign finds women who are about to abort or abandon their babies because they are girls and enables them to keep their daughters by providing the family with monthly stipends for a year. They have saved hundreds of baby girls from gendercide and grinding poverty. They have also launched their “Save a Widow” campaign to give help to destitute widows in rural China. In recognition for their work, Women’s Rights Without Frontiers has been selected three times to present an event at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York and Geneva, Switzerland.
A graduate of Yale Law School, Reggie is an accomplished advocate. She has testified eight times at the United States Congress, three times at the European Parliament, twice at the British Parliament (House of Lords), and has spoken at the Irish and Canadian Parliaments, The Hague, United Nations, State Department, White House, and the Vatican as well.
She led an international movement to free blind activist Chen Guangcheng, who spoke at the Republican National Convention on August 27, 2020.
Reggie has also been featured in many media outlets. She appeared on C-Span and the BBC, as well as CNN and ABC News television. Her opinion pieces have been published by CNN, the National Review, the Daily Beast and the Women’s United Nations Reporting Network. Pulitzer Prize winning columnist, Kathleen Parker, has published a feature interview of her work in the Washington Post. The Washington Times, the New York Post and the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs have published feature interviews of her as well. In addition, she has delivered a TEDx Talk.
Reggie has had the privilege of working with Mother Teresa in Calcutta. Reggie was given the National Pro-Life Recognition award by Priests for Life at the 40th March for Life. For her tireless efforts on behalf of the women and babies of China, she was honored as one of the “Top Ten people of 2013” by Inside the Vatican Magazine. Reggie met Pope Francis shortly after his election to the pontificate.
In each of her experiences and accomplishments, Reggie has placed her advocacy for women and girls at the forefront. She has continued her quest to save lifes and promote women’s rights.
