Building with Sisterhood
Our networks are powered by distributed leadership and sisterhood, along with a multimodal approach to connection and community development.
Connections begin in many places. Some start on our website or through email. Others begin in a WhatsApp group, a social media thread, an online call or townhall, a direct message, at a local event, or at meetings and conferences.
This creates an innovative field rich with possibility — oriented by calendar, shaped by culture, grounded in sisterhood, guided by values, empowered by vision, and carried forward by a volunteering spirit.
Our Values
We persevere and progress together through care, coherence, and resilience, by acting with empathy and creating clarity while staying flexible and strong. We honor complementarity, collaboration, and vision through shared roles and intentional purpose, and we practice vigilance, values, and velocity by responding to community needs, respecting time and culture, and enabling action with speed and sisterhood.
How We Work
We are entrepreneurial and responsive to diverse needs.
We are flexible in form, resilient in flow, and resourceful in talent.
We are mindful of different leadership styles, and respectful of each other.
We work nimbly, amply, and joyfully by sharing roles across a web of people. We are all upheld and buoyed by the power of our collective efforts.
We build with initiative, interaction, intentionality, and integration.
We thrive within ecosystems of exchange and cooperation — adding our bit to the whole, and receiving the same in return from a powerful collaborative.
How We Move Forward
We remain connected in spirit and enable action with speed and sisterhood — regardless of the channel or tool to connect.
This is how we connect.
This is how we grow.
This is how we move forward, together.
Auspices
The five sister platforms - ALL, WEF, G100, SHEconomy, and WICCI - operate under mutual auspices, with ALL serving as the primary platform established in 2011. Like five fingers of the same hand, they work together in solidarity, addressing various aspects of empowerment and bridging gaps to foster a more inclusive and equitable world. To summarise, the five sister platforms are focussed as follows:
ALL Ladies League (ALL), a global sisterhood platform that embodies the spirit of She-for-She support and Shakti Bandhan, uniting women as "sisters beyond borders." Women Economic Forum (WEF), a conference platform that amplifies women's visibility, voice, recognition, and global networking, empowering women to pursue "business beyond borders." Women's Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WICCI), an industry and business chamber driving women empowerment, through actions and advocacy for "policies beyond borders.” G100, a global platform for joint action, accelerating actions for "gender equality beyond borders." SHEconomy, an e-commerce platform and app that promotes women-owned businesses, strengthening "commerce beyond borders."
Together, the family of platforms bridge the gaps on various fronts with purpose, partnership and positive spirit. All platforms together ensure women’s advancement in all walks of life with an integrated vision and inclusive values. With a powerful network reaching a million women worldwide, these empowering ecosystems are among the largest global communities of women. Supported by The Denim Club of He for She champions, all platforms cultivate communities in a spirit of All for All.
Membership to the platforms is free and by invitation only. The platforms are non-political, non-religious, non-dogmatic. They are driven by Core Values of Positivity, Code of Conduct of No Negativity, with the tenets of Support, Sisterhood and Solidarity as the primary organising principles, resting on a vision of the world as One Family.
