On International Women’s Day 2021 we launched our year long #WINwomen project. The aim of this project was to celebrate inspirational women alive today who we think have created exceptional change within their community or in society as a whole. The project ran for a whole year until International Women’s Day 2022. We are launching the first 10 names on the list with many more women added throughout the year with submissions from our members and friends! We are so excited to have build up a resource list of incredible women.
