Process to join the delegation

The Global Delegation is an integral part of CWD and its history. These trips facilitate conversations with women leaders in democracies around the world. We meet with politicians, human rights and non-profit organizations, industry leaders, and indigenous peoples.

The goal of the Peru delegation is an exchange of ideas and building connections with peers. We will learn about the challenges and successes they've had in the advancement and protection of women's and girls rights. We will learn more about efforts to advance democratic ideals and strengthen democratic institutions in Peru.

It’s a great opportunity to make friends and create networks across the world. During these trips you will form life-long friendships with each other and the people we meet!

The theme for our visit to Peru is Indigenous women and their role in politics and society.  We’ll learn more about the ways in which Indigenous women are engaged in various sectors including the arts, education, business, politics, and environmental justice.  Our goal is to understand how Indigenous women are leading and impacting these sectors, gather learnings, and build connections for future interactions and collaborations.


Trip dates & locations

The delegation is a nine (9) day trip from Monday, September 2 through Tuesday, September 10.

Over the course of the nine days we will visit Lima, Puerto Maldonado, Cusco, Sacred valley, and Machu Picchu.

Don’t miss out on your opportunity to join us on one of these life-changing journeys.

When I think about the trips, I immediately think about the time on the buses after a great discussion or meeting. They were always buzzing with conversation, laughter, a-ha moments, and sharing. We had our heads and hearts filled with these mind-bending experiences and then we’d get on a bus, sit next to someone randomly, and just unload until we got to our next destination.
