Global Women in PR Annual Index survey extended

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.

GWPR Empower programme

Empower is an exclusive programme developed by Global Women in PR for a carefully selected group of 26 mid-career women, which offers a combination of cross-border mentoring, education and profile building. Our 2023/24 programme has just concluded after a very successful first year in 2022/23. We are now in planning for 2025 and will be issuing an invitation to participate in due course.

See our current mentors and mentees here. Read on for further details about the programme and extracts from the masterclasses.
