Janine is an explorer of places, people, and ideas, she is deeply driven by the notion of social justice and recognises the value of harnessing change. At her heart she is a change maker, a woman who refuses to sit on the sides lines when she sees that change is necessary.

Whilst many see that change itself is daunting, Janine sees change as a challenge and one that is necessary if we are to thrive in a world where social justice is seen as the norm.

In 2021 Janine founded the Women’s March4Justice, a charity that strives to transform social attitudes and deliver equality to all women.

Janine’s commitment to social justice was garnered following the suicide of her son when she established a charity that gave her the platform to build schools around the globe. 

 

Courage – the courage she found to start a charity that went on to build 11 schools across the globe, following the suicide of her son.

We all have power, the power to create change we just need to be bold enough to take the first step

Whilst running this charity Janine oversaw the construction of 10 schools which to this day provide the facilities to educate 1000’s of students daily.

Janine’s current endeavor is the Guild of Objects a social enterprise that supports artists and creatives in developing financially viable and flourishing creative practices.

Janine Hendry is a positive, genuine and dynamic force. Engaging Janine for our International Women’s Day event was a privilege. She works proactively, collaboratively and authentically. As a speaker, she seeks to first understand her audience and environment so can truly connect and present in a way that really aims to draw common ground, bringing people together rather than dividing them. The time Janine took to deeply chat with guests after our event really resonated with attendees and consolidated her impact. Janine is an inspiration – but above all, a good person.
