The General Assembly of the International Council of Women meets every three years to evaluate women’s status and development around the world, to assess the activities and progress of ICW affiliates in the promotion of the current triennial theme, as well as to establish the new triennial theme.
The Regional Councils also take the opportunity of this global gathering to hold their meetings. An additional objective of the conference is the strengthening of this global network of women through reinforcing ties of friendship and cooperation among the affiliate members.
