"iVillage has always had a heart - for over a decade, women have come here to share ideas, find support and connect on the issues they care about. Now, iVillage Cares will mobilize women worldwide, from Detroit to Darfur, with passion and influence, to champion these issues which are, in many cases, underserved," said Deborah Fine, President of iVillage.
