We are a membership organisation for women in the aid, development and humanitarian sectors.

Inspiring and supporting all women to succeed in leadership roles.

When an Australia-based McKinsey partner dismissed the glass cliff as “a very convenient way to always be a victim in the rain”, he was commenting on a post about Shannon Nutter’s book.
