“When we talk about women of color living in Vienna, we should definetely also talk about increasing chances! We know that these incredible women workinmany branches and many professions that they are talented and excellent! At the same time it's on the labour market, the job situation, that we should open up and increase their spaces, increase their chances so we can all benefit from their talents and great contributions.”

EmpowerHer 2026: "From Resilience to Renaissance" 〰️

This year, EmpowerHer invites the world to witness a transformation already happening around us: women turning challenges into innovation, creativity, and leadership.

Across the world and especially within diaspora communities women continue to rise, not only surviving adversity but reshaping it into something powerful, this with their strong allies. Their resilience is undeniable… but their renaissance is unstoppable.

Re-live the momentum.
