Women's World Summit Foundation (WWSF)

WWSF is a not-for-profit, international, humanitarian, non-governmental organization (INGO), based in Geneva, Switzerland. Since its creation on 8 March in 1991 (International Women’s Day), WWSF serves with its annual empowerment campaigns, prize awards, world days, Round Tables, social media alerts and conferences, the advancement of women and children’s right and the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals – Agenda 2030. WWSF has consultative status at the United Nations (ECOSOC, UNFPA and DPI).

Recognizing that women and children (girls and boys under the age of 18) represent the world’s largest constituency who have little to say in shaping the economic and political space in which they live, it is imperative that their thoughts and visions, skills, concrete and effective participation in development, and their deep aspiration for a more just and peaceful world be considered to help catalyze the necessary political will for the transformation of systems and structures into pathways of equality, development and peace.
