CHAPTERS
The mission of FOWES knows no borders, it spreads and touches every woman Our Chapters are the heartbeat of our global mission. Each chapter serves as a strategic hub, rooted in its local ecosystem yet connected to a powerful international network, bringing together women entrepreneurs, business leaders, professionals, trailblazers, and change-makers who are shaping industries and communities.
Our chapters are not social clubs or passive networks. They are action-oriented platforms designed to foster meaningful connections, strategic collaboration, leadership development, and economic empowerment. Through curated engagements, high-impact discussions, mentorship, advocacy initiatives, and cross-border opportunities, each chapter creates an environment where women do not merely network, they build, lead, influence, and scale.
While every chapter reflects the cultural and economic landscape of its region, all operate under a shared global ethos:
to elevate women’s voices, strengthen women-led enterprises, and create pathways for leadership, visibility, and sustainable success.
