The Women Empowerment Awards
The Women Empowerment Awards has been created to recognize and celebrate the diverse achievements of women in Canadian business, leadership, community service, and lifetime achievements. It is designed to empower women as key change makers in our community and support female entrepreneurs with their business and to help them advance in their careers.
The organization is a firm believer that we rise by lifting others. The Women Empowerment Awards is a movement and platform for women to share their stories and experiences, to have their voices heard, to promote and motivate other women. Its’ mandate is to celebrate the women leaders and entrepreneurs who have made an outstanding impact in our society and empowered others to do the same.
The Mission
The mission is to elevate, educate and empower women who will not only inspire the next generation of strong leaders and key change makers, but provide a community for those currently leading.
The Vision
Educated, empowered women and young girls are change agents. When women and girls are supported, they become advocates for their rights and the well-being of their communities, leading to equality and change. They build social capital for themselves and for future generations. When more women ascend to leadership roles, they become role models and empower other women. More women leaders will also influence the high-level decision-making that will pave the way to gender equality.
