About

The most authentic voice in the gender equality movement.

Our members say we are the most genuine of all women’s and non-binary people’s organizations Why? Since our inception in 2007 we’ve been committed to be a real voice for you. No figure heads, no sponsors with personal agendas, no barriers for entry.

Our members suggest event topics, shape the campaigns we run and have a say on what we do next. We have grown to an estimated 90,000 members in over 55 cities, giving a voice to 1,593 speakers worldwide.

 

And our impact keeps growing :

Founded in 2007, we ran over 531 events

We have presence in 55 cities around the world

With an estimated 90,000 members and upskilled approximately 37,170 people

We believe if we use our collective voices, permanent equity in our industry is within our reach.

What we do:

  • We run monthly events in cities around the world.
  • We facilitate a free mentorship scheme called ‘who’s your momma?’ in selected cities.
  • We drive key global events throughout the year (awards, screenings, meetups and conferences).
  • We co-create activism for gender parity with our members.

We believe equity comes from raising our collective voices. And we do this by being a non-hierarchical, action-based organization where:

  • Members have a say and our events and mentorship are free.
  • We answer to nobody except our members. So yes, we are not for profit which gives us immense freedom to best serve our collective.
  • There are no barriers for entry and everyone can learn and participate in changing the ratio of women and non-bonary people leaders in the creative industries.
  • We don’t just discuss women’s and non-binary people’s issues, we discuss topics that will improve our careers. And we do this almost everyday around the globe.

Even though we are called SheSays, we’re all about doing things and we have pioneered a bunch of actions in the women’s space including:

  1. The 1st – and largest – global network for creative women and non-binary people
  2. The 1st representation of women creatives in the White House (US) and No.10 (UK)
  3. The 1st women entrepreneurs meet creatives conference
  4. The 1st wearable award – it was called the Stiletto Award
  5. The 1st women only hackathon
  6. The 1st to do speed mentoring events
  7. The 1st to create a list of women in the creative industry
