Women20 is a recent G20 dialogue process: agreed by the G20 at the 2014 summit in Australia, the goal of reducing the gender employment gap by 25% by 2025 (“25 by 25”), paved the way for inclusion of a new involvement group in the official sphere.

In October 2015, the first working meeting of Women 20 (W20) took place in Istanbul under the Turkish G20 presidency. Demands and measures were formulated to promote the economic participation of women in the G20 member states and to strengthen their economic power. 

Since 2016, these lines of work have been continued in the G20 presidencies of China, Germany, Argentina, Japan and Saudi Arabia.
