About Us
Women 20, better known by the acronym W20, is one of the G20’s independent engagement groups (G20 Social) focused on promoting gender equity and women’s economic empowerment. It was established during Australia’s presidency in 2014, Brazil has participated since 2017, and, like all other engagement groups, aims to recommend policies and commitments to the leadership of G20 countries.
Each year, the W-20 prepares a document with key areas and recommendations known as a “Communique”, delivering it to each country leader’s designated representative person (Sherpa) and advocating for the inclusion of these recommendations in the final G20 declaration.
W20 brings together experts on various topics, from G20 countries, working in the majority of civil society and segments such as startups, universities and social businesses. During the preparation of Communique, delegations are divided into working groups that analyze themes, success stories of policies and actions and prepare suggestions. The country responsible for the presidency nominates one of the people to lead the working groups and can invite experts to participate.
In addition to the work of delegations, the country promotes national dialogues with representatives of civil society organizations and government bodies that aim to promote women’s rights. All of this production is announced at an in-person event (Summit), which includes the participation of international organizations and companies collaborating with content curation or sponsorship.
