WW4W: Celebrating a Decade of Female Empowerment

Female empowerment transcends borders and generations, and the Women Working for the World Forum is one of the prominent spaces to expand conversations on gender and sustainable social development. This year, on its tenth anniversary, the event, which gathers world-renowned speakers to address crucial topics such as sustainability, gap reduction, empowerment, and philanthropy, shone brighter than ever.

With an attendance of 1,000 people, the WW4W Forum was held at the Hall 74 event center of Sergio Arboleda University. Among the featured speakers were Maickel Melamed, strategic mentor, and results accelerator; Tina Wells, entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, and brand creator who believes that harmony between work and personal life is key to improving life; Alix Lebec, founder, and CEO of Lebec Consulting; Megan Bambiano, director of Elevate Prize Foundation; and Mona Sinha, global executive director of Equality Now. Each from their respective areas of expertise shared visions and experiences that aim towards building a fairer, more equitable, and diverse world.

The event was also a platform for inclusion and collaboration. We are proud to mention that we had the presence of 100 women from the “Las Manzanas del Cuidado” program of the Bogotá Women’s Secretariat, who joined the conversation and enriched the dialogue with their unique experiences and perspectives.

With a 10-year history in Bogotá, the WW4W Forum continues to strengthen its commitment to gender equality in Colombia and around the world. And, as part of our promise of regional expansion and inclusion, we are pleased to announce that in May of this year, the Forum will come to Medellín for the first time, thus bringing its message of hope and action to new audiences and communities.

The WW4W Forum is not just an event; it is a movement that awakens consciousness, inspires actions, and creates a space for change. Let us continue building together a more equitable and sustainable future.
