ASSEMBLY-GLOBAL WOMEN'S PEACE NETWORK
a forum for transformative leadership
Why Leadership Matters?
The National GWPN Assembly offers the opportunity for networking, innovation, and transformational leadership for everyone, despite their financial capability.
​
​The Global Women’s Peace Network (GWPN) is a compassionate alliance of women leaders dedicated to uplifting those in need and empowering the next generation of leaders.
Guided by a spirit of benevolence, GWPN National Assembly creates opportunities for emerging women leaders, ensuring they have the support and resources needed to reach their full potential. Through mentorship, education, and community-building, the GWPN Assembly nurtures heart-centred leadership across all sectors of society, fostering a culture of care and inclusion. By empowering emerging leaders from all walks of life, GWPN contributes to the betterment of society and a brighter future for all.
We are entering a new era where the role of women as peace builders in all sectors is needed more than ever. It is well established that the economic empowerment of women isn't just good for women, it's good for everyone.
Likewise, there is a growing body of evidence (McKinsey & Co) showing that when more women sit at decision-making tables, better decisions are made.

What people are saying!
“I feel empowered by meeting all those inspirational women coming from different backgrounds who had to come over so many barriers to be able to reach where they are. Amazing stories!
It was a great day of networking, learning and being inspired to lead into the future.”
“Congratulations on a beautifully organised event. The food was fabulous, speakers inspiring, and the structure of the event was great. Leaving lots of time for attendees to meet and converse was an absolute highlight as well.
What an amazing group of women were in attendance. I enjoyed every minute of my time. WFWP is doing a great job."
“It was an uplifting event which clearly demonstrated many of the benefits and strengths of women's leadership.
​
Each of the speakers represented different backgrounds and interests, yet each were similarly inspiring as they stepped us through the motivating factors of their lives, especially how each lead by example."
“Marvelous stories of women who have shown leadership in their professional careers, as well as within their service to community.
A lot to take away from the Assembly, would recommend it to anyone.”
"Never have I attended an event outside my field of work that was this inspiring. Every conversation with a fellow attendee was deeply motivating and filled with stories of resilience, ambition, and success.
​
The diversity in the room—women from all age groups, backgrounds, and experiences—made the event even more special. The lineup of speakers was nothing short of incredible, each bringing powerful insights that left a lasting impact.
​
It was a space of empowerment, connection, and shared growth, and I walked away feeling energised and inspired."
“I had a highly positive perception. It was inspiring to hear the speakers' stories sharing their know-how from different walks of life and their insights on turning difficulties into opportunities to help others.
Previously, I hadn't thought about resilience as a source of leadership from the heart. However, after hearing those examples and seeing the work that the founders of the federation did from their life experiences, the concept will stay with me.
I also enjoyed the activities in the group and the safe environment built for everyone to feel free to share their perceptions without judgment."
