World Speech Day Women: Amplifying Voices for a Better World

Welcome to World Speech Day Women, a global platform empowering individuals, causes, and organisations through the transformative power of speech. As a committed Generation Equality Forum Action Coalition Commitment Maker, our mission revolves around promoting advocacy under the theme of Feminist Movements and Leadership.

Our Journey:

Born in the midst of a world-altering moment in March 2020, World Speech Day Women quickly evolved into a global force with a far-reaching impact. Our online presence, spanning numerous nations, allows us to champion advocacy through various platforms.

#GenerationEquality Campaign Podcast Series:

Witness the impact of our #GenerationEquality Campaign Podcast Series, launched on International Women's Day. Aligned with the United Nations Women's call for action, we focused on empowering women through media, particularly podcasts. This initiative sparked collaborations with prominent organisations worldwide, including the International Women's Federation of Commerce and Industry, the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and more.

Diverse Perspectives, Profound Insights:

Our speakers delve into crucial issues – from the statelessness of Rohingya women to amplifying voices in India, navigating male-dominated wildlife conservation, protecting reproductive health rights in Nepal, and addressing social injustice in South Africa. With five podcast series, three International Women's Day events, and impactful campaigns like #Act4Equal and 16 Days of Activism, we've featured approximately 250 speakers to date.

A Catalyst for Change:

In the words of Hekwa’gila’ogwa Shelley Joseph (Canada), "When indigenous women are elevated, the world benefits." World Speech Day Women believes in the power of public speaking to effect change at every level of society. By providing a voice to women, we instill a belief that they matter and can drive meaningful change.

Advocacy Beyond Rhetoric:

Both men and women unite as advocates against Gender-Based Violence, sharing digital literacy tools and promoting entrepreneurship and leadership skills. Our commitment to feminist-led organisations aims to contribute meaningfully to achieving Generation Equality targets by 2026.

Join Us in Making a Difference:

At World Speech Day Women, we believe real change starts from the ground up, fueled by resilience and a shift in mindset. Public speaking is our tool to involve, empower, and give voice to individuals across all sectors of society. Together, let's ignite ideas, inspire change, and amplify voices for a world of true equality.

"Changes in society happen when people at every level think differently, believe differently, hope differently." - Simon Gibson, Founder, World Speech Day
