Women Leaders
Promoting women leaders to make a difference in society & inspire the upcoming generation.

Antoinette Braybrook
All she has done is for Aboriginal women. Antoinette Braybrook has been fighting for Aboriginal women and children to receive the support they require for the past 18 years.
Despite ongoing funding cuts, dismissive governments, and disengaged Australian public, Braybrook has been an outspoken and persistent advocate for her people as CEO of Djirra (formerly the Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention & Legal Service – FVPLS Victoria). Ms Braybrook was appointed as a CEO in 2002 and in coming October, the organization is celebrating two decades of service.
In Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are 32 times more likely than non-Indigenous women to be hospitalised for family violence and 10 times more likely to die from a violent assault. Djirra gives cultural safe and specialist legal and non-legal support to Aborjinal and Torres Strait Islander people who sufferes from family violence.

Gülsüm Kav
She is the doctor and Co-Founder of “We Will Stop Femicide Platform”.
Femicide is the intentional killing of a woman or girl by a man on account of her gender. In Istanbul, Gülsüm Kav saw how Turkish women concealed the violence they experienced at the hands of men for fear of punishment or death while working as a doctor. And she understood she had to work to prevent violence.
Kav and other activists founded the "We Will Stop Feminists Platform" (KCDP) in 2010 to monitor trials (laws against femicide are frequently not enforced in Turkey, and men are given reduced sentences), create resources for survivors of violence, and maintain a database of women who have been murdered.
Demand for assistance has increased significantly throughout the pandemic, but Kav continues to fight, even as the Turkish government considers repealing protections for victims and their families. She has no other option as long as women are being murdered.

Aurora James
Aurora James, a Toronto native and New York City transplant, is the Creative Director and Founder of luxury accessories brand Brother Vellies. Brother Vellies was founded in 2013 to preserve traditional African design practices and techniques while also creating and sustaining artisanal jobs.

She launched the 15% pledge in June asking the retailer to commit 15 % of their shelf space to Black-owned brands. Black people represent roughly 15% of the US population. By December, big retailers like Macy’s, Sephora USA, and West Elm had signed the pledge.

Arundhati Bhattacharya
Bhattacharya is the first female president of the State Bank of India, which has been in operation for over 200 years. She is also reshaping the bank's male-dominated history with a female focus, allowing women two-year sabbaticals for maternity leave or caring for family members.
Because women are primary caregivers in Indian society, this protects working women from losing their jobs as a result of caring for their families.
In 2016, Forbes magazine ranked her 25th on their list of the "Most Powerful Women in the World" and 5th on their list of "The Most Powerful Women in Finance." She was also named to the Fortune List of the Top 50 Globally Most Powerful Women in Business, and she was ranked among the top five in the Asia-Pacific region.
She was one of two Indians named to Foreign Policy Magazine's list of the top 100 Global Thinkers in 2014. She was ranked 26th in the fourth edition of Fortune's World 50 Greatest Leaders list, becoming the list's only Indian corporate leader.

Jacinda Ardern
She was the world's youngest head of state when she became Prime Minister of New Zealand in 2017. She's been hailed as a new kind of leader, or 'the anti-Trump,' for the qualities she chooses to display - empathy, authenticity, tolerance, and kindness. She is always decisive and strong in her decision-making.
Ardern never wavers in times of crisis, from her quick response of locking down the country at the start of the pandemic to her steely resolve not to name the perpetrator of the Christchurch Massacre.
She is not without flaws, and she has many detractors at home, particularly for her failed attempts to address housing affordability and child poverty, but her calm and effective leadership helped her win a second term in a landslide victory in October. Ardern knows how to rally her 'troops,' calm their fears, and get the job done – in 2020, she frequently thanked her 'team of five million.'

Shemara Wikramanayake
Shemara Wikramanayake, CEO of Macquarie Group and the first woman to become Australia's highest-paid CEO with an A$18 million salary, is frequently vocal about how her husband's decision to be a stay-at-home father to their two sons has played a significant role in her success. Her children's future is undoubtedly at the forefront of her business considerations these days.
Wikramanayake became the first Asian-Australian woman to lead an ASX 200 listed company in 2018 after working 15 different jobs for Macquarie Group in six countries since 1987.
Wikramanayake has directed the company's investments toward climate resilience, is a member of the United Nations Climate Finance Leadership Initiative and advises the Australian government on green technology investment.
According to the CEO, she wants to make changes for women at Macquarie by increasing flexible work arrangements and lowering the cost of childcare.
