The Power of Showing Up Together at #WomenDeliver 2026

Last week in Melbourne, we joined the world’s largest gathering for gender equity.

We were honoured to be there: to listen, to connect, to reinforce, and to cheer on the leaders driving change

Feminist movements need strong, consistent male allies

It was a proud moment for us to see Change leader @kerry_mwita's enthusiastic speech at the @WomenDeliver Emerging Leaders for Change event, rooted in male allyship.

🌍From Oxford to Melbourne

After the Skoll World Forum, Nguvu Collective is headed straight to @WomenDeliver!

At a time when conversations on gender justice, power, and participation are more urgent than ever, spaces like the #WomenDeliver Conference matter deeply.

[Nguvu Collective @nguvucollective]

The Skoll World Forum last week reminded us why this work matters.

The conversations, the connections, the shared conviction that a better world is possible and is being built.

We are excited to follow up on discussions and action points with those we engaged with

#SkollWF

[Nguvu Collective @nguvucollective]

Due to the high demand we saw for storytelling, we are opening up 5 free seats for our next storytelling and smart advocacy masterclass series in May.

If you are interested, leave a comment, and we will get back to you.

Today and every day, let’s invest not just in outcomes, but also in the well-being of the people creating them.

#DayofHappiness #OurPowerCollective

[Nguvu Collective @nguvucollective]

A happy team isn’t a 'nice to have', it’s the engine behind meaningful impact.

On this #DayofHappiness, we're reminded that when team members are happy, creativity flows more easily, collaboration becomes natural, challenges feel more manageable, and burnout is less likely

[Nguvu Collective @nguvucollective]

Happiness at work is about trust, empathy, respect, and a sense of belonging.

It’s about leaders who listen, colleagues who support one another, and cultures where people can show up as their full selves.

🎂Happy Birthday, V!
Like all collectives, Nguvu is driven by passionate people who truly believe in the change we're trying to create. And this passion shines through in Vivek, our Executive Coordinator - the backbone of the work we do in the organisation

This #InternationalWomensDay, we are celebrating women’s leadership. We are a women-led and a women-majority team! And this fills us with pride!

When women lead, workplaces can become more supportive, flexible, innovative, and community-oriented.
