It’s time to take down the wall of invisibility, brick by brick.

History is full of invisible women. Women who have made major contributions in science, economics, business, media and arts and whose work has gone unnoticed.

This is a great opportunity for companies to show the inspiring women working there because it takes one to get another one. It’s more than just employer branding and recruitment. This is because real life role models can empower more women in the business world to reach for the top and they contribute to a more inclusive and successful workplace.

By nominating your employees, you’re not just celebrating their individual journeys, but also sending a strong message about your commitment to diversity, inclusion, and creating a space where women can thrive. The awards shine a light on role models, paving the way for others to rise and achieve their full potential.

We’re inviting companies only to nominate their high potential women and Mavericks (advocates for gender equality). Research suggests that women in business get less visibility than their male counterparts and the WVA are here to change that!

Take this opportunity to honor the women who are shaping your company and the world around them. Nominate them today and be part of creating a future where women leaders are celebrated and empowered. Celebrate the Power of Women Leaders: Nominate Today!

Who we are

Empowers women who are setting new standards and challenging the status quo.

In de discussies omtrent diversiteit zijn we soms geneigd te denken in categorieën “mannen” en “vrouwen”, en gaan we voorbij aan het feit dat er binnen deze groepen natuurlijk ook enorme verschillen zijn. En gelukkig maar, want ieder mens is uniek!

When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.
