We mean business
On March 8, the world celebrates women’s economic, social, cultural, and political achievements on International Women’s Day. Starting February 27, our community will run the 5th Annual International Women’s Week (IWW).
Throughout IWW 2023, choose from over 25 powerful events to participate in; there's something for everyone. Visit our calendar to see for yourself!
IWW is far more than a set of activities. It is a powerful driver for long-term, sustainable change. Individuals and organizations have joined forces under the same goal - to inspire, equip and empower more women. Together, we strive to help create a critical mass of successful women leaders from every walk of life who significantly impact our economy and society.
We are here for all women

To advance the status of women, it will take
all of us working together.
