Founded during GWI’s centenary celebrations in Geneva in 2019, the network has thrived, significantly impacting its members and the wider GWI membership community. GWI YMN keynote speaker Sudha Srivastava led attendees through a comprehensive overview of the network’s history, mission and founding activities, illustrating its substantial growth and ambitious plans for the future. The highlight of the session was undoubtedly the candid reflections shared by some of the young founding members, along with insights from newer members who have joined in the last five years.
