Women in the World is a movement dedicated to advancing women and girls through stories and solutions.
The Women in the World Foundation was born out of Newsweek & The Daily Beast’s Women in the World Summit, launched by the publications’ editor-in-chief, Tina Brown, in March 2010. The summit brings together extraordinary women leaders and advocates from around the world to find solutions to the challenges facing women and girls, from sex trafficking to the need for more women in the boardroom. It also showcases remarkable stories of everyday pioneers. In the year and a half since the first summit, participants have reached out to Newsweek & The Daily Beast in droves, wondering how they can get involved; how they can be part of the solution. Enter the Women in the World Foundation.
Mission
The Women in the World Foundation is a powerful, new initiative dedicated to highlighting and driving solutions for advancing women and girls. Building on the success of the Women in the World summits and harnessing the journalistic power of Newsweek & The Daily Beast, the Foundation serves as a resource to all who seek to learn about and engage on the issues facing women and girls. The Foundation, in addition, convenes courageous women of impact, provides strategic grants to select non-profit organizations, and fosters much-needed collaboration between organizations.
