Our Values are Celebration; Courage; Intelligence; Equality; Empathy; Reflection WOW's vision is to be a leading voice in achieving a gender equal world by 2030. Our mission is to build a global movement towards gender equality for all, through creative programming, redefining networks, advocating for equality and developing people. The WOW Foundation (WOW) is the fast-growing global movement for gender equity, building a strong, independent network of leaders and festivals for change across the world. Current trajectory predicts 132 years before global gender equity is reached (WEF 2022 Report). We urgently need this to change. We produce ground-breaking, intersectional, arts-led festivals that amplify and connect the creativity and expertise of women, girls and non-binary people around the world. Each year culminates around International Women's Day in March with our annual global showcase, WOW London, the largest of all our festivals, which brings together the highlights from our global community to the Southbank Centre, London, reaching an audience of 30,000. WOW is committed to working with partners from all sectors and in particular with businesses that express a clear and genuine commitment to intersectional gender equality in their workplace; for their client/customer base; and for wider society. Every year WOW reaches millions of people through our programmes worldwide, delivered through local partnership in over 45 cities across 6 continents and growing. All our work leaves a legacy of bold, creative and connected individuals to advance this transformation. This is our global community of Changemakers. Through this network we are enabling new conversations, strengthening initiatives and building communities of diverse people building visible, vocal and active allies in the drive towards a gender equal world. Underpinning all The WOW Foundation's work are exciting and unusual alliances across sectors and across society that progress and drive our movement to bring about a gender equal world.
