WOMEN CHANGING THE WORLD GLOBAL SUMMIT

We believe that when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens.

The inaugural Women Changing the World Global Summit is taking place in London in 2023. A day of learning, storytelling, dreaming and truth-telling, this event will bring together some of the world's most influential women to share wisdom, stories, and valuable insight. The Summit acts as the prelude to the Women Changing the World Awards later in the evening.

The day will feature award-winning speakers, including Dr Tererai Trent, panel discussions & engaging workshops, as well as time for networking. From advocates advancing human rights to entrepreneurs driving industry change, this event will connect you with a room of diverse female leaders who are all united by their passion and commitment to creating a meaningful difference in the world.

The UN states that achieving gender equality is of crucial importance in reaching the 17 sustainable development goals by 2030 and explains that women are the key to changing the world: “Achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment is integral to each of the 17 goals. Only by ensuring the rights of women and girls across all the goals will we get to justice and inclusion, economies that work for all, and sustaining our shared environment now and for future generations.”

These awards focus specifically on changing the world through enabling equality for women and giving women a voice.

These awards give back! Profits from the Women Changing The World Awards go to providing girls and women with full and part scholarships to enable them to receive support, mentoring and education through The Women’s Business School and Tererai Trent International (TTI).

We believe that investing in women and girls is the most powerful way to change the world! Investing in education creates a powerful ripple effect far beyond today and into the future.

Tererai Trent International Foundation helps send girls in rural Zimbabwe to attend College and or University.

In Zimbabwe, due to historical inequities that have shaped the poor, more rural girls are married before the age of 18 and 5% are married before their 15th birthday.

This support ensures that these bright, and yet under-resourced African children, who are often the first in their families to attend university, can change the trajectory of their life, their communities and future generations.

Together we can help create a brighter future for these students.

These awards also provide scholarships for deserving women to participate in Ignite a 6 month incubator program for early stage startups and businesses and Accelerate a 6 month accelerator program for high potential and experienced entrepreneurs ready to scale their companies and expand globally.

Aligning with the United Nations goals for sustainable development, The Women’s Business School scholarships are awarded to women in remote and rural areas, Indigenous women, migrant women, women with disability and those facing financial hardship.
