“The ability of women to perceive the intangible aspect of life, the unspoken emotions, the characters of each person, the spiritual dimension, is part of what makes women especially valuable for the work of building peace.” Ms. Shinsook Kim, President of GPW International (2014).

Around the world, GPW chapters conduct forums where a network of passionate and service-minded women leaders gather to address issues in their local communities.

These women engage in ongoing discussions, developing strategies to unite and empower women to create projects within their respective fields and networks and then capitalizing on their combined resources, talents and wisdom to have a positive, united influence from the local level to the global community.
