WomenIN Festival 2025 - Limitless: No Labels, No Limits, No Apologies

The WomenIN Festival 2025 is more than a celebration—it's a catalyst for connection, change, and collective power.

Under the theme “Limitless: No Labels, No Limits, No Apologies,” the festival invites women to rise—boldly, authentically, and without compromise. With over 60 powerhouse speakers and an expansive lineup of masterclasses, healing workshops, wellness activations, legal advisory spaces, and real-time self-defence training, the festival delivers not just inspiration—but transformation.

Built around impact, the WomenIN Festival goes beyond moments of inspiration. From dedicated counselling rooms to survivor-led discussions and legal empowerment corners, the space is designed for real healing, real connection, and real change. The programme was developed by an extensive advisory and creator board made up of incredible trailblazers from across industries. At its core, the Festival reflects a year-round commitment—not just a single August campaign.

The WomenIN Festival isn’t just an event — it’s a movement, a call to action. “It’s about breaking barriers and unlocking potential,” says Nazlee Fredericks-Maharaj, Founding Portfolio Director of WomenIN. “We’re done shrinking to fit into outdated boxes. Limitless means building lives and careers on our own terms — with tools, support, and practical skills aiding women to redefine their potential to step into their limitless power. We’re building bridges across sectors, breaking silos, and ensuring no woman is left behind—not for two days, but every single day of the year.”

Keynote Speakers Who Embody Limitless

This year’s headliners are women whose leadership is felt on national and international stages:

Zingiswa Losi – President of COSATU and powerful voice for workers' rights and gender equity

Thando Hopa – Lawyer, activist, model, and UN ambassador for diversity and inclusion
