Women's Forum Community

ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

The Women's Forum is the only international movement that brings together a community of stakeholders (thinkers and doers) committed to promoting gender equality for the benefit of all, to advance the economy and society.
It is a space for dialogue, action, and collaboration to make a tangible impact on advancing gender equality and all dimensions of inclusion.

OUR AMBITION : CHANGE THE GAME

WHAT WE DO

Our open platform is built on equality and inclusion to drive progress in education, the environment, the economy, culture, and society.

At the Women’s Forum Global Meeting in Paris and regional events, we bring together a global community of businesswomen, decision-makers, and change-makers. 

 With representatives from over 175 countries and international networking opportunities, our events serve as both think tanks for effective decision-making and showcases for our initiatives: Rising Talents, CEO Champions, the Barometer, French Women Entrepreneurs 40, WomenEntrepreneurs4Good, and Youth Voices.

Our mission at the Women’s Forum since its inception 19 years ago has been to promote gender equal leadership in business and society in order to create a more equal and just future. We amplify the voices of women, promote dialogue, create connections and act to foster more inclusive solutions that benefit the whole of society.
