In 2024 alone, Women Power 2030 strengthened over 1,421 women, youth, and grassroots leaders, amplified feminist policy advocacy, and reached more than 4 million people through visibility campaigns.

As WomenPower2030 looks ahead, the path is clear: deepen impact, amplify feminist leadership, and continue bridging grassroots action with global advocacy. The achievements of 2024 have shown that when women and gender-diverse people lead, transformative change follows. WP2030 will carry this momentum forward by strengthening feminist movements, influencing policy, and expanding inclusive spaces for systemic change.
