SOWA is a movement that aims to serve as a vital mechanism for shifting prevailing narratives surrounding women's rights and tackling the multi-faceted issues that deeply affect women today with the aim of creating a society where women thrive, says Primedia.

From keynote address to panel discussions, under theme reimaging power structures, SOWA brings together thought leaders, experts, women networks, government, corporates, policymakers, non-profit organisations and individuals with the aim to celebrate, empower and drive progress for women's affairs on a global stage, adds Primedia.

"We want leaders to critically analyse their own assumptions, biases and privileges, while actively creating spaces for marginalised voices. Our collaborative efforts unite stakeholders with a shared mission to re-imagine and accelerate gender equality. Through our partnerships with Primedia Outdoor, the Black Distributors Trust and Sanlam, we can amplify marginalised voices and bridge gaps in understanding and co-create strategies that address the systemic roots of gender disparities," says Tumi Mthembu, Founder of WomenCan.

SOWA is rooted in the belief that meaningful change requires a collective effort, through advocacy, collaboration and lateral accountability. Speakers will be addressing the persistent gender wealth gap, diversity and inclusion, promoting financial inclusion by providing access to information and tools.

"The global shift required for systemic change, demands a recalibration of inclusive leadership that is committed to the principles of gender equality. By uniting voices across genders, we are creating a platform for transformative dialogue and actionable, sustainable solutions to gender equality," concludes Mthembu.
