The Global Women’s Summit is a world-wide movement to strengthen women and families through education, enlightenment, & entrepreneurism in an effort to eradicate illiteracy, poverty, & hunger and lift the level of love, prosperity, and peace on earth. Sponsored by The WIN (Women’s Information Network), there will be over 1000 Summits across the globe in 2012 from London to Bangalore, to Kenya to Australia, to many places here in the US.
At each Global Women’s Summit community leaders and local experts will share their ideals around the issues facing women in our communities and nation. In addition, participants and attendees will discuss the following questions:
- How can we acknowledge our similarities and respect our differences? (Discussing how women are alike and how they’re different is a wonderful foundation upon which to understand each other better.)
- How can we strengthen women’s roles for increased peace and development in communities, nations, and the world? (Women know how they want their roles strengthened.)
- How can women live in greater dignity and contribute to the well-being of other women in their communities, nations, and in the world? (This issue varies widely from country to country.)
After our Global Women’s Summits, the ideas shared will be discussed with local, national, and international leaders so they will know what women want and can take steps to initiate positive changes relative to women’s issues in each nation.

The theme of the summit will be “Let Your Voice be Heard in 2012.” We will be discussing the role of women in Ohio, the challenges we are facing, and how our roles will be changing in the future in an effort to help women live their best lives.
