WomenIN Festival: Have you booked your ticket?

The WomenIN Festival takes place 13-14 November at the Newlands Cricket Ground

This November, women from every walk of life will gather for a one-of-a-kind event that redefines what empowerment truly means. The WomenIN Festival 2025 is more than a celebration—it’s a catalyst for connection, change and collective power.

Under the theme Limitless: No Labels, No Limits, No Apologies, the festival invites women to rise – boldly, authentically, and without compromise. With over 60 powerhouse speakers and an expansive lineup of masterclasses, healing workshops, wellness activations, legal advisory spaces, and real-time self-defence training, the festival delivers not just inspiration but transformation.

Built around impact, the WomenIN Festival goes beyond moments of inspiration. From dedicated counselling rooms to survivor-led discussions and legal empowerment corners, the space is designed for real healing, real connection, and real change. The programme was developed by an extensive advisory and creator board made up of incredible trailblazers from across industries. At its core, the Festival reflects a year-round commitment, not just a single August campaign.

The WomenIN Festival isn’t just an event, it’s a movement, a call to action. “It’s about breaking barriers and unlocking potential,” says Nazlee Fredericks-Maharaj, Founding Portfolio Director of WomenIN. “We’re done shrinking to fit into outdated boxes.

“Limitless means building lives and careers on our own terms, with tools, support, and practical skills aiding women to redefine their potential to step into their limitless power. We’re building bridges across sectors, breaking silos, and ensuring no woman is left behind, not for two days, but every single day of the year.”
