WIAN | The Women in International Affairs Network

🌍 Over 30,000 professionals. 1 global community for ambitious women. Since its inception, WIAN has strived to be a place for women of all backgrounds to have access to resources, mentorship and a network of peers to succeed in all sectors of international affairs. As we celebrate International Women's Day and this year's theme of DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality, we are particularly aware of the ways digital spaces can facilitate community and serve as a launchpad for significant offline impact. We are consistently so encouraged as we see the career trajectories of our members and the ways they are making a difference. To kick off Women's History Month, we'll be featuring incredible women and organizations that have made a tremendous amount of impact so stay tuned for lots more content to come in the following weeks! While we continue building a platform that aims to combat gender inequality and youth unemployment, we hope you will join us, and invite you to sign up for the waitlist for our free community membership program along with thousands of other driven professional women here: https://lnkd.in/e2-khMz Happy International Women's Day! #IWD #IWD2023 #InternationalWomensDay2023 #internationalwomensday #womenshistorymonth #women #gender #genderequality #womeninleadership #womenleaders #community #mentorship
