This is a survey requested by Dietlind for an organisation she is involved with. It seeks to provide support for disadvantaged women entering the work force. If you wish to participate please send replies to the email that is listed.
This survey is to be used to gather information on services the nonprofit organization Dress for Success
can provide to transgender women of all ages. Dress for Success helps all women who need help to get
into the working world, and to become self sufficient females.
Dress for Success is aware that transgender women might need slightly different, or more help, to
become self sufficient, than cis women do. We try to find out what this might be, to enable us to
include it into our program. All help we provide to any women is free of charge, and does not require
the participant to sign any contract.
We are currently in the process of developing a pilot program, which is also geared to help transgender
women. We will initially start in South West Florida, from our local subsidiary..If we are successful in
helping transgender women with their professional needs, we will roll the program out nationally, and
later globally.
Sorry, we do not help transgender men, because our mission as an organization has the purpose, to
empower females!
