How can we help?

Global Women’s Week is an international platform bringing together women, leaders, professionals, organizations, researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, advocates, and community members from different cultures and countries. The program supports meaningful conversations, professional connections, knowledge-sharing, cultural exchange, and international collaboration.

Global Women’s Week 2027 will take place from March 1 to March 8, 2027.

Yes. Speakers, participants, organizations, and partners from different countries and cultural communities are invited to participate.

Global Women’s Week is an initiative of Global Village Group, with Persian Awards as a key partner. The founders have organized women’s programs, events, workshops and media content for more than 30 years, and the 2026 Persian Women Summit marked the official beginning of Global Women’s Week.

The central theme is Women’s Stories Across Cultures. The program highlights women’s experiences, knowledge, leadership, creativity, and contributions across cultures and professional fields.

Women from different professional, cultural, academic, and community backgrounds are welcome to apply. Opportunities may also be available to organizations, institutions, community groups, universities, media outlets, and supporters of women’s advancement.

Approved speakers are expected to attend preparation meetings, submit requested materials by the deadlines, follow the session format, promote their participation when possible, and respect the event’s professional standards.

Unless a separate written agreement is provided, participation should not be understood as a paid speaking engagement. Any honorarium or financial arrangement must be confirmed in writing.

Confirmed speakers and coordinators may receive a certificate after completing their program responsibilities.

A separate confirmation or ticket may be required because venue capacity is limited.

The dress code for formal in-person programs is generally business, corporate chic, or formal. Specific requirements will be included in the event invitation.
