Be in the room for this day of impact, where the future is being shaped by women, for women.

Join us at the inaugural Global Summit hosted by the Center for Women, Faith & Leadership (CWFL) to amplify the voices of those most impacted by the world’s toughest challenges.

From pursuing justice to fostering peace across religious divides, the work of CWFL has been a beacon of hope, empowering women to lead in the face of adversity.

One day of learning, networking, and inspiring
hope for the future.

Hear from trailblazing women whose work has directly impacted the lives of women and children across the globe.

Learn firsthand about pressing global issues—from pursuing justice to economic empowerment—that disproportionately affect women and children, and how innovative leadership can be a force for change.

Be inspired to think critically about the role you play in your own community and remain hopeful for a better tomorrow.

This one-day event in Washington, DC, is your opportunity to connect with extraordinary leaders who are shaping policy and grassroots initiatives to bring real change to vulnerable communities.
