The global meeting place for women in international affairs.
A community that spans the globe.
WIAN provides members with a unique international environment and the opportunity to connect, collaborate and learn. Members have access to opportunities, information, resources, experts, and most importantly - each other. We are a truly global network of women, of over 200 women from all walks of life, levels of experience, and perspectives - based all over the globe.
School leavers, apprentices and individuals without degrees and/or formal experience.
The network that supports, no matter what.
A common misconception is that WIAN is just for young, entry-level women. Wrong! While we place special attention on the issues that early career women, graduates and students face - we are a platform for women of all ages, experience and capabilities. Whether you are an experienced woman professional, a recent graduate on an entry-level scheme, an entrepreneur or looking to switch careers, you can find a home for yourself here and get the support, knowledge and skills you need.
