The ancient Greeks had unique words for the different types of love and affection we feel for the people in our life:
Storge is familial love we have for a parent or grandparent, our siblings, or a child. It spans generations and is lifelong.
Philia is deep affection for our friends, those we choose to be in our lives who bring us shared laughter and joyful memories.
Agape is caring for others in our communities and the larger world. We feel this with neighbors who lend a helping hand.
Eros is romance and passion that comes from a shared attraction and connection with a spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend or significant other.
We believe that equal opportunity for women and girls everywhere means a brighter future for all.
