There are great examples around the world of professionals and entrepreneurs creating, supporting or championing initiatives that are effectively changing their work environments and leveling the playing field for women.

Projects that are contributing to a larger number of women having the tools and resources needed for self-empowerment. Many of them go unnoticed. Others remain under the radar. All of them make a difference. By shedding light on these worthwhile efforts, we hope to continue to fulfill our mission of accelerating representation of women at the highest levels of decision-making.

From March to November every year, we announce two winners monthly and feature them on our portal and across social media.

The honorees of the Red Shoe Leader Award will receive two tickets to attend our annual Red Shoe Movement Signature Event, which usually takes place in November in New York City. They will also be invited to attend an activity we conduct the evening before where we will honor the awardees of both the Red Shoe Leader Award and the Red Shoe Movement Hall of Fame.
