WOW Pakistan is back for 2025!

WOW Pakistan is an ode to the strength, perseverance and reserve of Pakistani women. Pakistan has a vibrant feminist history and the WOW festival showcases the strides women and girls are making in the fields of technology, climate change, entrepreneurship, architecture, access to public spaces and so much more.

The eighth WOW Pakistan Festival is here! Inspired by the rare bird whose feathers symbolize the extraordinary and unachievable, Surkhaab, we aim to transform these scarce feathers into a celebration of authenticity, resistance, and hope – a collective dream to imagine a future where women are truly seen, heard, and valued. Through art, literature, film, and conversations, we will honour women’s lived experiences, their courage, and their dreams.

Join us in challenging patriarchal ideals of beauty, success, and worth and celebrating the transformative power of women’s truths and achievements!

The WOW Foundation works in partnership with amazing women and organisations to create WOW Festivals across the world. The WOW organisers in each location ensure the content is created by the local community for the local community. While each festival is different in its own wonderful, unique way, there are elements that stay consistent at every WOW Festival wherever you are in the world; from the WOW Marketplace to Under 10's Feminist Corners.

In the past decade, the WOW movement has grown from its London beginnings to find homes everywhere from Beijing and Kathmandu to Baltimore and Brisbane.

To date, there have been more than 100 festivals and events across six continents, reaching more than five million people from thousands of women in favelas at WOW Rio to Territory women at WOW Katherine.
