Shaping Global Leadership with an Asian Perspective

GWA was founded in 2023 to emphasize the value of a global mindset rooted in a deep understanding of Asia. Through annual fellowships, strong ties with leading academic and corporate institutions, and frequent events, we are building a worldwide community of women leaders and allies who are working together towards a brighter, more collaborative future.

Our Vision

In a fragmenting world, we see an urgent need and a unique opportunity to unite people and foster meaningful connections. With over half the world's population and a growing share of global economic activity, Asia has emerged as a hub of globally adaptable solutions and groundbreaking innovation.

We believe that empowering women through targeted support unlocks prosperity, drives community reinvestment, and creates a lasting impact for future generations.

Our Mission

Global Woman Asia is building a transformative, globally minded community rooted in Asian perspectives and leadership. From the ground up, we are creating, through fellowships, spotlighting role models, honoring groundbreakers, and regional hubs, a community that is already making a difference on a global scale.

Together, we bridge divides, inspire mutual support, and work towards a brighter, more-connected future.
