The Center for Women’s Leadership (CWL)

Our mission

INCAE’s Center for Women’s Leadership (CWL) was established in 1997 to promote and foster the development and advancement of women in their professional careers.

Today, although women make up nearly half of the workforce in Latin America, they do not have equal social, executive, or economic power.  The CWL conducts and reviews research on the challenges that hinder women’s career progress, how they can overcome them and what companies, organizations and societies can do to better promote women into leadership positions.  Center research is disseminated to relevant business sectors, government and societies through seminars, regional training programs, research publications, and books.

Our Vision

A world in which women and men have equal opportunities to become agents of change in the organizations they work for and the societies they live in.
