WOMEN ACHIEVER AWARDS

Since its inception in 2012, Institute of South Asian Women has been conferring ISAW Women Achiever Awards. The global awards are given on International Women’s Day at Berlin, Germany whereas the South Asian Awards are given in India. ISAW believes that awards motivate ambition, empower confidence, social responsibility and inspire new female leaders now and into the future. These awards are open to all across the globe. Our focus is on women achievers from all walks of life, such as politics, education, environment, business & corporate, tourism, arts, sports, social work and so on. We honour exceptional women who have emerged from the shadows to claim an equal stake in society, redefining the scope of power. They are in the forefront and at the helm of public life. We could not be more proud of this platform and the women that are a part of it.
