At BPW, we are more than just an organization. We are a sisterhood, united by our dedication to empowering employed women across the world. As the only organization of its kind, we are committed to improving the status of women in all aspects of life – from the economic and social spheres to culture and politics.
We believe in encouraging women to reach their full potential by improving their qualifications and experience, and helping them secure more responsible positions. And we don’t just stop there.

But our sisterhood is about more than just professional advancement.
We form lasting friendships and give each other the support we need to succeed. So, if you’re looking for a community of like-minded women who will champion your success and lift you up along the way, BPW is the perfect place for you.
