Founded in 1990, the International Women's Media Foundation is a vibrant global network dedicated to strengthening the role of women journalists as a way to further worldwide freedom of the press. IWMF programs cultivate women leaders, pioneer newsroom change and honor the courage of women reporters. At its core is an international community of women and men—4,000 and growing—who actively support the IWMF mission and each other.
