Rotarians understand that the whole world is their backyard. They can see the effects of climate change in communities they care about, and they haven’t waited to take action. They’re tackling the problem the way they always do: coming up with projects, using their connections to change policy — and planning for the future.
From working alongside vaccinators in remote areas of the world to raising millions of dollars for polio eradication, women in Rotary are leading our fight to end the disease. Learn about five female Rotarians who are making a difference, and helping Rotary make history.

Dr. Ujala Nayyar and her team of health workers travel across the Punjab province in Pakistan searching for potential incidences of the poliovirus. In addition to the challenges of polio surveillance, Nayyar faces substantial gender-related barriers that, at times, hinder her team’s ability to count cases and take environmental samples. From households to security checkpoints, she encounters resistance.But hat doesn't stop her.
