The Women 20 (W20) is the official G20 engagement group focused on gender equity.  During Australia's presidency in 2014, G20 members agreed to reduce the gap in women’s labour force participation 25 percent by 2025 – often referred to as the ‘25 by 25’ or the Brisbane goal.

The first W20 summit was held during the Turkish presidency in 2015. Its primary purpose is to ensure that gender considerations are mainstreamed into G20 discussions via an agreed W20 Communique which is communicated to each G20 country with the objective that it is translated into the G20 Leaders’ Declaration as policies and commitments that foster gender equality and women’s economic empowerment.

The W20 brings together delegates working across civil society, business, community and universities who have expertise in, and deep commitment to, gender equality to participate in working groups, support development of the W20 Communique in order to influence the G20 declaration.

The G20 is primarily an international economic forum comprising major and systemically important countries.
