„Together with women’s organizations we want to work for long-term cooperation, exchange, promotion, help in establishing contacts and creating partnerships and joint projects. Our goal is not to associate to create another organization. Our goal is for organizations to cooperate with each other, so that women have the opportunity to develop their chosen fields and to have help from various governmental or non-governmental institutions. We fight with stereotypes, we work for understanding and dialogue”Bianca Tudor founder & CEO EBW International

„We are proud to be forging this MOU with EBW, which is a like-minded organization and which is led by women who think differently, act differently and do things differently.Through this partnership, we aim to bring people together, open horizons, exchange and implement business ideas, forge new relationships, create new opportunities. This is a launching pad for us all to continue our paths but from a fresh new perspective. During these tough times that the whole world is passing through, we can only think of the survival of the toughest. We tend to forget the resilience that we have been building all along.

I want to emphasize the importance of this resilience as a quality and strength in every Lebanese woman entrepreneur. Through this partnership, we aim to bring people together, open horizons, exchange and implement business ideas, forge new relationships, create new opportunities. This is a launching pad for us all to continue our paths but from a fresh new perspective”. Madiha Raslan WLC President
