CELEBRATING

WOMEN 

The World Affairs Council of Atlanta is proud to celebrate women, today and everyday. Each March, we bring together leading voices to discuss their experiences and to inspire men and women alike, to be agents for positive change towards gender equality. 

In March 2021, we will be celebrating the entire month with a series of digital International Women's Day and #LeadHERship programs.
