The Success Story of the 8th International Conference on Future of Women 2025

The 7th International Conference on Future of Women 2024 was held on the 22nd – 23rd February 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand under the theme,Transforming Women’s World: Practices and Possibilities.” The Future of Women 2024 was attended by 55+ Participants from 15+ Different Countries. The purpose of the Future of Women 2024 was to provide women more liberty and the ability to make their own decisions, including empowering them to effectively engage in the economy and political process, as well as make decisions about their own health and well-being, which leads to a variety of positive outcomes, including increased economic growth and development, improved health and well-being, and greater gender equality.

The Future of Women 2024 served as a focal forum for the dissemination of the most recent research findings, knowledge, opinions, suggestions, and vision, as well as a variety of interactive platforms such as discussion panels, speeches, networking sessions, workshops by prominent experts and activists in the field and many more exciting experiences. Throughout the conference, we have the opportunity to work collaboratively towards achieving this, one step at a time.
