WOW was established by a group of women determined to challenge a society steeped in gender-discriminatory practices and attitudes.

We dream of a world where women and men, girls and boys exist as co-equals.

Our Story
How We Started
Women Of Worth (WOW) as a movement was birthed in 2006 by a team of Indian women passionate to combat gender discriminatory practices in our society. These women rose up to the challenge of being the change in an environment where attitudes hindered the growth, empowerment and safety of women.
Discriminatory practices and attitudes are often excused or overlooked as being a cultural or masculine phenomenon without considering the repercussive loss of human dignity and worth.
With zero tolerance for abuse and violence against women and adolescent girls, WOW works tirelessly to break stereotypes that cripple a woman’s true potential.
What The Future Looks Like
WOW believes in the new woman, who is free from shackles, stereotypes and limitations imposed by negative trends in culture or tradition and we dream of a world where women and men, girls and boys co-exist in true equality.
