International Women's Congress
Formation1893
FounderEdith Hart (among others)
Founded atNorth Fleura
Purposeto discuss the political, social, and economic advancement of the status of women
Location
  • various

The International Women's Congress is a biannual conference bringing together leading feminists from around the world to discuss "the political, social, and economic advancement of the status of women." Held in various host cities worldwide since its founding in 1893, the IWC is the oldest and leading organ for mobilization on women's rights worldwide. Beginning with humble origins in the 1890s, the IWC played a crucial role in the founding of Kerlile as a women's state, the international women's suffrage movement, and the promotion of women's employment and reproductive rights. Although the IWC has faced internal conflict over the decades of its existence (notably ideological schisms between pro- and anti-Kerlian factions from the 1980s onward) it remains the foremost body for the advancement of women's rights in the world. The most recent International Women's Congress was held in 2021 in Grapevale, Kerlile.

History[edit | edit source]

The first IWC took place in 1893 in Maytown, North Fleura in present-day Kerlile. The Congress is credited with bringing together the Founders of Kerlile; making it an important body in Kerlile. Despite this, the 2021 IWC was the first to be held in Kerlile since prior to the Kerlian Civil War. At the 1913 conference, a discussion on the foundation of a nation led by women was initiated by Edith Hart, then a citizen of North Fleura whose monarch was sick and had produced no heirs. Hart, who was one of the original organisers for the first IWC in 1893, suggested that a way to move forward in the women’s liberation movement was to form a nation ruled entirely by women. Originally intended as a thought experiment, a number of women began discussing the concept in earnest, eventually leading to the creation of Kerlile as a state after the death of the King of North Fleura.

Organization[edit | edit source]

The International Women's Congress occurs biannually, in a host city chosen by the IWC Executive, which manages proceedings and logistics for the biannual IWC. Unlike other international conferences, the IWC includes a mixture of governmental delegates, delegates of various organizations and associations, and individual feminist activists and thought leaders.

Representatives of governments, alongside third sector and civil society organisations dedicated to women’s rights are usually invited to attend the conference. Each participating organisation and government is entitled to five voting delegates, and up to 20 observing delegates[2].
