Women have been driving change in all thematic areas of multilateral diplomacy and international cooperation - health, science, human rights and humanitarian action…
This tour reveals a few of the many women behind the monuments, inside the international buildings and out in the public space.
As we explore Geneva’s international district, we discover how they have contributed to global change for over a century - individually and collectively, from well-known figures to anonymous players in a wider movement of solidarity.
Who were the first women Nobel Peace Laureates? How did the global system in Geneva after the First World War contribute to the expansion of women-driven initiatives? Who were the first women leading UN agencies before their exponential rise in the 2020s
Let yourself be intrigued by how women continue to bring change to the the world by their active roles in Geneva’s unique multilateral set-up.
This tour is regularly requested by NGOs, women’s associations, academic institutions and public and private secondary schools.

What a wonderful tour! I highly recommend it! Catherine is a fountain of knowledge and delivers it in a highly engaging way that connects with the people on the tour and leaves them feeling connected to history and to a beautiful city!
I had the pleasure of attending a visit/conference by Catherine during an inter-club Inner Wheel meeting on the theme of "International Geneva through Women." It was absolutely fascinating and very lively. Thank you, Catherine, for this excellent experience! IIW Nyon
