About Women Οn Top

What is WoT?

WoT is an organisation for the professional & economic empowerment of women, and for gender equality and inclusion in the workplace. Our vision: a world where women and girls have the chance to become all that they can and want to be.

Integrity

We stay true to our values and we put them to practice through our programs and partnerships.

Our story

In 2012 we founded Women On Top as a mentoring network, where every woman, from any line of work, level of experience or geographical area, could find a mentor to support her in the challenges she faced in her professional life. This community, which was born out of our own needs and experiences, began to expand, as we added skills development courses and networking initiatives for thousands of women. Gradually, our contact with beneficiaries of the organisation as well as the public dialogue that had opened up around us, pushed us to expand our action to interventions that would contribute to gradually begin to change, not just the potential of the women themselves, but also the working, social, economic environment in which they grow and create. Today, we systematically build partnerships with companies, organisations, institutions, and other communities, aimed at establishing a more equal and inclusive labour market for all.

Our action

We design and implement actions to promote women’s professional and economic empowerment, to nurture an inclusive work culture, to establish policies for equity in businesses and organisations, and to raise awareness on a range of gender issues amongst decision makers and the wider public.
