Check out what our IWB team is reading, or find it interesting and wants to share with you:
🏠 Why is it so hard to find a flat for rent in Berlin? Here's a clue: Nearly half of the houses belong to a few billionaires and their publicly-listed companies.
🌭 Did you know the inventor of the Currywust is a woman?
🥰 “A record high of 70% of refugees in Germany are employed, and they have better language integration than most other OECD countries.”
😅 “Why won’t he commit to you?” Who doesn’t love a good powerpoint?
💪 Did you know? Despite receiving significantly less funding, women-founded startups outperform their male counterparts!
We are very happy and proud to get msgs like this, thank you! 💖
To run IWB, there’s a group of 6 women, mostly women of color, taking care of different tasks to keep the whole IWB project running. As we continue to grow, our responsibilities grow as well, and we are basically doing this job that takes a lot of our energy, time and mental health for free.
”You give a little, you take a little”
Our ✨dream✨ is to keep supporting the community of women* in Berlin as much as we can, with events, helpful resources, support groups… and in return, we would get at least 1€ from each member that got something positive out of IWB. We host over 36k people right now… even if we got 20k every month, we could hire immigrant women, pay them fairly and find a small whole in the middle of the patriarchal, capitalist system that usually underpays women.
Let's be the change we want to see and not reproduce outdated and harmful systems 💖
To motivate people to support our work, we are giving back some cool perks!
