Female Empowerment goes The Hague

February 5, 2026

A powerful way to kick things off! This Hague-based gathering brought together engaged professionals from across sectors, connected by ambition and a shared drive for impact.

Together, we explored how education can be a powerful platform for young women from conflict-affected regions to grow and lead change. We also reflected on how we can strengthen opportunities for talented female students at UWC Maastricht and on the role each of us can play in supporting their journeys. We were especially glad to hear from two current students and one alumna from the Female Empowerment Project on stage!
A special thank you to UWCM board member Deidre Jakobs and Female Empowerment Network ambassadors Sana Bardawil and Marguerite Soeteman-Reijnen for helping bring this initiative to life. Inspired to learn more or be part of what comes next?
