Women.NYC

We believe in celebrating women every day, but especially on International Women's Day! We've come a long way but the fight for equality continues. The statistics in NY are sobering: - Mothers are paid just 58 cents for every dollar paid to working dads - Only 19% of Venture Capital funding goes to Women That's why Women.NYC was founded: We empower women to dream big and break barriers. Since our launch, we've helped thousands build substantive networks, get access to valuable resources and become the leaders they were meant to be. Check out this short explainer video and discover how Women.NYC can help YOU reach your full potential! Let's rewrite the future, together.

Earlier this week, New Yorkers woke up to a new chapter, yet our commitment to protecting what matters remains stronger than ever. Women.NYC is proud to stand with the Mayor’s Office in ensuring that our city continues to be a place where women—and all New Yorkers—can access essential rights and resources. Together, we are building a future grounded in safety, empowerment, and opportunity for all. #WomenNYC #NYCStrong #Empowerment #CommunityResilience #NYCValues

L+M’s HVAC and Energy Manager Minaiel Shoaib, CEM recently ‘walked the walk’ and modeled sustainable outfits for the ‘Women of Future Industries: From Runway Model to Role Model’ fashion show at Brooklyn Public Library’s Central Library. The event was hosted by Women.NYC to highlight influential women in the sustainability industry, showcase new styles made from sustainable materials and crafted by local designers from the Brooklyn Fashion Academy, and provide an amazing networking opportunity with industry leaders and sustainability advocates. L+M is a leading national sustainable affordable housing developer and utilizes sustainable practices and technologies such as Passive House, geothermal systems and solar panels to deliver energy efficient and resilient homes in neighborhoods vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

“The work of government is never just about one person. It’s about the collective effort and ensuring that every decision, every program puts women and girls at the center.” – First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer At Women.NYC, we believe in the power of collective action to drive change. Together with Amplify Her Foundation and Women’s Philanthropy Institute, we are proud to celebrate #GivetoWomenandGirlsDay — a powerful call to action to address the reality that less than 2% of philanthropic funding reaches women and girls' organizations. With over $50 million in city funding through #WomenForwardNYC, we’re not just raising awareness—we’re leading a movement to create real, lasting impact by ensuring women and girls are at the heart of every policy and program. #GiveToWomenAndGirls #WomenForward #ThoughtLeadership #WomenEmpowerment #PhilanthropyForChange

We’re so excited to see all the love for our From Runway Model to Role Model Fashion Show! Proud to partner in a show that proves the future of fashion is green and to be part of a movement empowering women to lead the way 💚

It’s not every day that I get to go to a fashion show and at the Brooklyn Public Library no less. A perfect way to close out climate week- the Brooklyn Fashion Academy teamed up with New York City Economic Development Corporation”s Women.NYC program to produce “From Runway model to Role Model”. Many of the women walking the runway are professionals working the field of climate tech and sustainability. Kudos to the team! The designers show us - it’s never too late to pursue your passion.
