The final session of the 2024 Women in Leadership (WiL) programme on 1 November 2024 began with a seemingly simple but profoundly symbolic activity: a group of women, holding a ball of string, throwing it from one to another. As the string crisscrossed the room, a web began to emerge—representing not only the connections they were forging but also the support networks and strength rooted in their collective experiences. This web of string (below) encapsulates the essence of the WiL programme: building an interconnected network of women leaders, bound by shared purpose and mutual empowerment.
