 Globalisation has created a wealth of challenges and opportunities for
women in the business world and in society. The Arab International
Women’s Forum (AIWF), launched in 2001, is a non-profit organisation based
in London UK that brings together international business women and women
community leaders to provide a unique network for them to build their
knowledge, develop their business and work potential and promote their
organisations.
AIWF activities
include seminars, workshops and conferences alternating between London,
the Arab world and international capitals.
Western society has long recognised the contribution women have made in
business and society. It has encouraged women to become more involved in
public life and civil society. The AIWF was formed by women who have
proven by their success that Arab women, like their Western counterparts,
can also benefit from increased participation in the public, private and
non-governmental sectors.
