Women in Leadership
Women in Leadership (WIL) is an initiative that encourages professional women to pursue leadership in their careers. WIL is an integrated process. It follows a module/ process which integrates one to another. It connects BWPN (Bangladesh Women Professional Network), IWA (Inspiring Women Award), Women in Leadership Summit, and WIL publication. One platform to discuss and share the issue, One is for implementation, another platform to understand leadership and its value, while the publication reflects on the outcome from within our society how it perceives women and the leadership possibilities around this culture. So we definitely keep the room for improvising around its core module but there is this very strategic process for it.
Women In Art
Women in Arts is a dedicated platform to engage women from different spheres of art. The platform aims at striving to connect visual arts of all media and genre – fine art. Literature, video, audio-visual, sound, performance, sculpture, cinema, and more.
