About us

WiMENA is primarily a business-to-business network, promoting issues on a sector-by-sector basis, by putting women centre stage and promoting their voice as part of the mainstream economy.

WiMENA is born out of our prestigious ground-breaking initiative Women in Business, and is a network reflecting the aspirations of women today. We use our platform to challenge gender inequalities; discuss the problems, develop concepts, policies and solutions and inspire change through collaboration and influence.

The language may have altered but the issues remain the same. While Women in Business fulfilled many of its policy objectives as accepted policy norms by UK and international governments; WiMENA builds on these foundations as it promotes and encourages business-to-business networking and the exchange of knowledge and skills between women from the UK and the Middle East and the wider international business community.

WiMENA is driven by a commitment not only to encourage women to access commercial opportunities for themselves or for the businesses they represent, but also to ensure that they are not marginalised across all sectors of business and society.

WiMENA works strategically with public organisations, the private sector and international governments.

Women in Sport

Sport is widely accepted as providing a platform for building wider social and economic change. Specifically, it is a woman’s participation in sport, at any level, that can play a part in breaking down gender stereotypes. Playing a sport contributes to building self-esteem and confirms invaluable lessons for self-worth for women and young girls. The importance of highlighting and sharing stories of women, working and participating in all aspects of sport – from community to professional sports – is crucial to increasing the participation of women across the sporting industry and leading the way to empowerment.
