Business Women Forum - Palestine (BWF)
Established in 2006, the BWF aims to strengthen the role of Palestinian businesswomen by developing their skills and abilities, increasing the number of women in the private sector, and providing useful information to help members manage and promote their businesses. The Forum also encourages the formation of policies and financial legislation that protect the interests of businesswomen, and works to strengthen relations among local, Arab, and international businesswomen.
