Leading the way to empowerment 



WiMENA (Women in Middle East & North Africa)  is dedicated to supporting and promoting women with inclusivity at all levels, across all spheres of interest and employment. WiMENA aims to increase opportunities for women, break down cultural and institutional barriers, and provide platforms for women and girls to thrive at all levels. Our goal is to showcase women's leadership potential while driving awareness and action towards gender equality. 


We are delighted to announce a programme of events in Saudi Arabia in February 2025 supported by the Ministry of Sport, to showcase the incredible and monumental changes that have taken place in the Kingdom under Vision 2030, and the major role women are playing to ensure the Kingdom's future success. 


We believe sport is a key driver in the empowerment of women. In alignment with Vision 2030 and future plans extending to 2050 and beyond, women's participation in sport, creates the future leaders of tomorrow.
