About

The Women of Europe Awards are jointly organised by the European Movement International and the European Women’s Lobby, building upon the national awards of several National European Movement Councils.

This year’s ninth edition of the awards will take place on Thursday 5 December 2024 at the BELvue Museum Atrium, Brussels.

The Women of Europe Awards were launched in 2016 to highlight the contribution of women in promoting and advancing European issues and to increase the involvement of women in debates about Europe and its future. While the role of women in the European project remains largely unrecognised, the awards aim to acknowledge and showcase their inspiring initiatives which lend a voice to women across Europe and defend European values such as democracy, inclusion and diversity.

THE AWARDS CATEGORIES

The Awards are handed out in five different categories:

Woman in Power | showing extraordinary political leadership in Europe

Woman in Action | undertaking extraordinary actions at the grassroots level in Europe

Woman in Business | advancing European integration with entrepreneurial spirit

Young Woman of Europe | for young women (age 15 to 30) actively strengthening the voice of young women in Europe

Woman in Media | outstanding women in media who possess a powerful voice, actively bringing attention to European issues
