Queens Without Crowns: Invisible Heroines of Global Crisis Response

AWM

What does a queen look like when there is no throne, no jewels, no crown? In the silent corners of crisis, where hunger bites harder than words and bullets drown out lullabies, women rise. They do not wear regalia; instead, they carry water jugs, cradle infants, and organize communities on the brink of collapse. Their crowns are invisible, made of resilience and sacrifice. Their kingdoms are refugee camps, bombed-out schools, and fragile villages. Without them, there would be no survival, no healing, and no fragile hope. These are the “Queens Without Crowns,” unsung guardians of humanity whose power is measured not in titles, but in lives saved. So why does the world still fail to see them? The Global Picture of Women in Conflict By the end of 2024, over 114 million people worldwide had been forcibly displaced due to conflict, violence, and persecution (UNHCR). Women and children account for…

The Wealth Architects: Female Investors & Fund Managers You Should Know

In the high-stakes world of finance, where trillions move across screens daily, women are steadily carving out their place as architects of wealth. Long shut out of boardrooms and fund committees, they are now rising, shaping strategies, and redesigning the very ceilings they once had to shatter. According to the 2025 Alpha Female Report, assets managed by women fund managers have tripled in a decade, reaching an astounding €4.7 trillion. Female representation may still sit at 12.9%, but it’s up from 10.3% in 2016, signaling a steady climb. More mixed-gender teams (14.9%), a push for diversity in investment boards, and women’s growing financial independence are fueling this shift. Women now control a greater share of global investable wealth, driven by education, economic empowerment, and longer lifespans. These women aren’t just managing money; they are reshaping its purpose. From ESG integration to disruptive innovation, their leadership reflects a distinctly long-term, inclusive…

Glamourpreneurs: The Women Making Business Bold, Brilliant & Beautiful

AWM

It felt less like a formal interview and more like catching up with an old friend. When the Amazons Watch Magazine team connected virtually with Camila Fernández Achutti, CEO of MasterTech, Mexico, she appeared on screen with a quiet confidence, no entourage, no airs, just her laptop within reach and a disarming smile that instantly set the tone for an open conversation. Before the first question was even fully out, she leaned in with an eagerness that filled the screen. “Perfect, perfect,” she began warmly, “I fell in love with computing at the University of São Paulo, but really, I realized what computing was with my father.” As she recounted, her childhood home was full of codes and CDs, her father’s world of technology becoming hers by osmosis. “I just felt like coding, programming language, was a way to turn ideas into reality,” she explained. “It was magical in my…

World Diabetes Day 2025: Women and Diabetes — A Global Call to Care, Prevent, and Empower

World Diabetes Day 2025: Women and Diabetes — A Global Call to Care, Prevent, and Empower

By Blossom Ukoha “Globally, women with diabetes have a right to a healthy future and to equitable access to diabetes medicines, technologies and self‑management education.” — World Health Organization (WHO) On World Diabetes Day 2025, as the world marks the theme “Diabetes Across Life Stages,” attention turns to the unique challenges faced by women living with diabetes. As the World Health Organization reminds us, “women with diabetes have a right to a healthy future and to equitable access to diabetes medicines, technologies and self‑management education,” this day underscores the urgent need to ensure that every girl and woman, from adolescence through reproductive years and into older adulthood, has the tools, knowledge, and support to prevent, manage, and thrive despite diabetes. Recognizing these gender-specific barriers is critical not only for individual health but for empowering women, protecting maternal and child well-being, and strengthening families and communities globally. The Rising Global Burden…

If Peace Had a Face, It Would Be a Woman – Celebrating United Nations Day 2025

If Peace Had a Face, It Would Be a Woman – Celebrating United Nations Day 2025

The sun rose over New York on October 24, 2025, illuminating the iconic United Nations headquarters draped in blue and white, symbols of peace and unity. But this year’s celebration carried deeper meaning: the UN marked its 80th anniversary under the theme, “Promoting Peace, Unity, and Global Partnerships.” Amid the speeches and reflections, one truth resonated louder than ever: peace, unity, and global progress cannot flourish without women at the center. From the dusty streets of Sudan to the digital labs of Singapore, women continue to stand as quiet architects of hope, mediating conflicts, pioneering innovations, leading humanitarian responses, and shaping the moral compass of governance. The world may celebrate the UN’s enduring mission, but its greatest measure of success lies in how well it empowers women to lead the charge for justice and peace. Eighty Years of Promise: From “We the Peoples” to “We the Women” When the United…

World Food Day 2025: Women — The Backbone of Global Food Security

World Food Day 2025: Women — The Hidden Backbone of Global Food Security

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together — and in the journey to end hunger, we go forward on the strength of women.” — Dr. Qu Dongyu, Director-General, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Every year on October 16, the world celebrates World Food Day, marking the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 1945. This year, as FAO commemorates its 80th anniversary, the global theme — “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future,” reminds us that ending hunger and malnutrition requires collective action, inclusivity, and innovation. While millions around the world are burdened by food insecurity, women remain at the heart of the global food chain, yet often at the periphery of benefits and recognition. Around 673 million people still live without adequate food, even as obesity and food waste continue to…
