“Female Wave of Change creates a space of unconditional acceptance” – Bonnie Fatio

Female Wave of Change was founded in January 2017. We realized that we live in a world of change and that the speed of change is exponential. We also realized that the world we live in is not a world we are proud to leave to the next generation. We believe that if we want to re-direct change and to create a better world for each and every one, we need to use more of our feminine values and our feminine energy.

Although the first intention was to organize a single event in The Netherlands in September 2017, it turned out to be so much more. Within no time we built a huge international movement and more and more women from all over the world connected. By the end of 2017 Female Wave of Change was represented in almost 25 countries and growing. Women were connecting online and offline, sharing knowledge and experience and creating new opportunities together.

Now Female Wave of Change has a growing network of Ambassadors, Wavemakers, a Circle of Wise Women, a fantastic group of volunteers (our Inner Circle) and many women all over the globe who visit our local events or join us online.

In June 2018 we went back to the drawing room and interviewed a large group of these women because we wanted to know if we were on the right track: What do they see in Female Wave of Change? Why did they specifically choose to become part of our movement? The answers were very much about our global mindset, about the women from all walks of life and about our focus on action!

For the rest of 2018 and 2019 there will be even more focus on action, focus on specific themes, we will continue to unite and collaborate to change the status quo, create waves and change the world. We are focusing on creating that safe place where we can support women to be economically empowered and grow into the change-makers who shape the world. Of course we focus on international expansion and build a strong legal and financial foundation under our organization.

We cannot do this alone! We have to do it the feminine way: Together!
