We mean business
On March 8, the world celebrates women's economic, social, cultural and political achievements on International Women's Day. Every year, we celebrate International Women's Week (IWW)!
You can choose from 50+ events and initiatives to participate in throughout the week. There's something for everyone. So, can we count you in for March 2023?
IWW is far more than a set of activities. It is a powerful driver for long-term, sustainable change and the pinnacle of the work we do all year long. Together as a community, we strive to help create a critical mass of successful women leaders who significantly impact our economy and society. We join forces under the shared goal: to inspire, equip and empower.
