Amazing Women

While preparing the Women’s Forum Brazil, we pitched  the idea to launch an initiative to showcase  inspiring women who had gone beyond their professional duties to lead in creating effective social, cultural, political or economic impact.

We named this initiative dedicated to women trailblazers: “Amazing Women,” in reference to an old television program produced exclusively for the internet JC Agid worked for  in 2000 (on the internet pioneer television network AmexTV.com).

Amazing Women was carried by WEFCOS to the Women’s Forum Global Meeting in Deauville, the Women’s Forum Mexico and Women’s Forum Mauritius.
