Overview

The International Women’s Forum (IWF) is a global organisation of over 7 000 pre-eminent women of significant and diverse achievement, across 33 nations and 76 affiliated forum locations, who come together across national and international boundaries to share knowledge and exchange ideas, to learn and inspire each other, and to promote better leadership for a changing world. IWFSA is the South African chapter of this organisation. The vision of the IWFSA is to be the voice of women leaders who bring change and to be the catalyst for ethical leadership. We place an emphasis on Gender Based Violence, Future of Work and the Digital Economy, Women’s Participation and Leadership in Decision Making Positions and Gender Parity and Equality in the Workplace. The IWFSA’s focus on leadership development is to develop the next generation of ethical women leaders. Our Young Leaders Connect IDEAL programme targets aspirational and emerging young women between the ages of 23 and 40. More information can be obtained at www.ylcideal.co.za.
