Since its founding, IWWG has championed the power of women’s voices, ensuring they are heard, celebrated, and shared. From our early newsletters to our most recent works, IWWG anthologies capture the depth and diversity of women’s experiences. In 2025, we are taking this legacy to new heights.

In 2025, our anthology efforts align with the 69th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69). This event is a call to action, reminding us of the power of storytelling to illuminate the 12 critical areas of concern outlined in the Beijing Platform for Action—from education and health to climate justice and human rights. The 2025 IWWG Anthology, supported by The de Groot Foundation, will bring together voices from around the world to reflect on these themes. 

The anthology will preview on March 8, International Women’s Day, at the United Nations in New York City, as part of our statement at CSW69. We will also host a reading in May 2025.

Due to the overwhelming response to this initiative, we have opened a new submission site to streamline the process. If you’ve already submitted your work, there’s no need to worry—we will transfer your submission to the new platform, and you will receive a confirmation email.

Your support is crucial to this endeavor. Whether you contribute your writing, spread the word, or donate to support publication costs, you become part of a global effort to uplift women’s voices.

Let’s write the future together.

Warmly,
Michelle
Executive Director
International Women’s Writing Guild
