She Empowers!
Collaboratively creating an inclusive water and sanitation sector.
Whether you're just starting out or considering a career change, you've likely absorbed many stories—about who you are, what you're capable of, and what your future could look like.
Some of these stories can hold us back. They quietly reinforce fears and insecurities, keeping us stuck in comfort zones and limiting our potential.
Sometimes, the next step in our career is right in front of us—but we're too entangled in these internal narratives to see it clearly and take the leap.
In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore the stories we tell ourselves, where they come from, and how they shape our decisions. Together, we’ll learn to recognize and challenge our limiting beliefs, reconnect with our sense of possibility, and take meaningful steps forward. Career development can feel overwhelming, but it always begins with one powerful step: reconnecting with yourself.
Let's identify our own biases to turn the barriers that surround us into possibilities!
Join us on for our next WWSN Meet-up —a fun and informal opportunity to connect with others in our global family.

💻 Format: Online
🙂 WWSN members, Stronger Together! Coalition members + friends (women only)
Inspired by the UN High-level Preparatory Meeting in Dakar, Senegal (January 2026), as part of teh Preparatory process of the 2026 UN Water Conference, we’re hosting this special virtual Meet-up. It’s a moment to reconnect with fellow participants, exchange key takeaways, and keep the energy of the Congress and the Stronger Together! Coalition alive.
What to Expect
We are delighted to welcome two inspiring speakers:
• Elizabeth A. Koch – Bridging Waters Advisory / Women in Water Diplomacy Network
• Dr. Aline Saraiva Okello – Rural Water Supply Network
They will share key reflections from Dakar and what it means for women in water as we move toward 2026, followed by small breakout conversations to connect, exchange, and look ahead together.
Who Can Join
This Meet-up is open to all WWSN members and to members of the Stronger Together! Coalition organisations, and friends – women only.
You don’t need to have attended the Dakar event to join — if you did (in person or online), bring your reflections; if not, come to listen, learn, and connect. Looking forward to seeing you online soon!
