Purpose of the Future Women 2026

The 9th Future of Women Conference 2026 (FOW 2026) is a global platform dedicated to exploring gender inequality through “feminist perspectives in local contexts.” In a world where feminist responses to crises are crucial, this conference amplifies voices advocating for peace, security, and justice, addressing issues from the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the Israel-Palestine crisis. With the Global Gender Gap Report 2024 revealing that full gender equality is still years away, urgent action is needed to close gaps in political empowerment, leadership, and economic inclusion. FOW 2026 fosters dialogue, collaboration, and action planning, offering keynote speeches, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops to drive transformative change at local, national, and global levels.
