About DWF
OUR STORY
Where it all began
Launched in 2015, the Doha Women Forum is a platform for women to learn from experts, get inspired by the experiences of fellow women, share ideas, and network. What began as an annual gathering of women from different backgrounds and cultures has now grown to become a springboard for ideas, and action to push more young girls and women to get involved with the various life-improvement initiatives introduced by the Doha Women Forum.
