TIAW World of Difference Lifetime Achievement Award - Recipient Virginia Littlejohn

There are women throughout the world whose actions, efforts and inspiration truly do make a "World of Difference" in supporting the advancement of women. Whether it is a small village project in a developing country that has ripple effects throughout the community, or an event or initiative on a global scale, the TIAW World of Difference Award recognizes the power within every individual to change the world we live in for the betterment of women.

Each year, TIAW bestows the TIAW World of Difference Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual TIAW Global Partnership Forum to recognize one woman who has truly made a difference in the lives of women.

TIAW World of Difference 100 Awards 2010

At the TIAW Annual Global Partnership Forum in 2007, TIAW announced it was creating a new awards program to honour women who have made an impact on the economic empowerment of women through a wide range of endeavours. These are often the “unsung heroines” of our societies, ordinary women who accomplish extraordinary things. The motto of TIAW is “Connecting to Make All the Difference in the World”. It was decided that each year, TIAW would honour up to 100 award recipients who have made a difference to the economic empowerment of women by naming them to the TIAW World of Difference 100 list.

TIAW Honourary Chairs - We wish to thank the Honourary Chairs of the TIAW World of Difference 100 Awards Haifa Al-Kaylani, Andrina Lever, Mei Sim Lai, Ineke Bussemaker, Kelly Watkins, and Sarmite Bulte.

Congratulations to these exceptional women who truly "make all the difference in the world".
