A Message From

Our President

Dear members and all, 


Welcome to the Women's Month of March, International Women’s day, a time when we celebrate the remarkable achievements and contributions of women around the globe, especially in the space of international trade.


As Organization Women International Trade, we are proud to dedicate this month to the empowerment, education,

empowerment, education, and advancement of women in the trade and business. Throughout history, women have played a crucial role in shaping economies and fostering global connections through trade. Their innovative spirit, leadership, and resilience have broken barriers and paved the way for a more inclusive and equitable trade environment.


This month, we honor all the women who have navigated the complexities of international trade globally, the entrepreneurs who have launched and grown businesses across borders, and the leaders who continue to advocate for gender equality in trade policies and practices.


As we reflect on the progress made, we also acknowledge the work that lies ahead.

We are committed to supporting women in trade by providing resources, networking opportunities, and platforms for their voices to be heard. Let's use this month to inspire, connect, and empower one another. Together, we can continue to drive change and ensure that women's contributions to international trade are recognized and celebrated, not just in March, but all year round.


With Warm Regards,


Hulya Kurt

President, Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT)
