Women’s Voices

Charities that support women and girls were matched with a team of media and creative volunteers who have the expertise and skill set to work on the charity’s communications goal for 2025. The day consisted of insights from industry leaders, creative brainstorming and advice, and networking opportunities.

Our annual Women’s Voices event brings together volunteers from across the media and creative industry with charities that support, campaign and advocate for women and girls, to mark International Women’s Day.

Back for its ninth year, we brought together 15 organisations that support, campaign, and advocate for women and girls to collaborate with volunteers from leading media and creative professionals from organisations such as the BBC, Dentsu, Google, and Meta.

Women’s Voices 2025 brought together and support organisations advocating for gender equality. As UN Women highlight, the world is falling short of achieving gender equality by 2030. The erosion of women’s rights globally underscores the urgent need to raise women’s voices. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to support organisations like yours that champion women’s and girls’ rights.

We can’t wait for Women’s Voices 2026 – keep your eyes peeled for more information!
