GWPR Annual Index

The GWPR Annual Index is an invaluable and unique resource that tracks and measures the position of women working in the PR and Communications industry globally.

Working in partnership with strategic insight agency Opinium, the 2024 survey includes flexible working, the barriers to women reaching the boardroom, the career impact of being a parent, harassment in the workplace, breakdown of women in senior roles and impact of career breaks on progression.

Our 2025 edition is now in the research and analysis phase; look out for announcements regarding its release.

GWPR Empower programme

Empower is an exclusive programme developed by Global Women in PR for a carefully selected group of mid-career women, featuring a combination of cross-border mentoring, education and profile building.

Monthly mentoring sessions are virtual and involve women from 15 countries worldwide. The teaching element of Empower involves regular masterclasses given by industry experts on topics such as leadership skills, business management, and career planning. GWPR also provide opportunities for the mentees to participate in panel discussions, a thought leadership project and international networking. Regular virtual networking meet-ups for mentees and active social media engagement help to create a sense of community.

Following its successful launch year in 2022, and follow-up programme in 2023/24, the 2025 edition has been launched, with an impressive team of 25 mentors appointed and successful mentees will be announced shortly.
