More than a night out

A beginning with purpose.

A night of couture, music and powerful stories launching a mission to help women rebuild with confidence, practical support and a community beside them.

The Empowered 100 is building a platform where women can be supported to shape what comes next—and tell their stories in their own words.

Through Empower Tactical’s work in confidence, self-defence and personal development, the campaign aims to support 100 women with practical empowerment and a community around them. Each woman’s journey will be documented as a story of growth, strength and possibility.

The launch is the first step. Our initial goal is to raise support to begin this work with at least three women, while bringing more people and partners into the movement.

“Together, we can turn being seen into being supported.”

The mission

Support that helps women move forward.

This campaign is designed to pair personal development with practical help, so each participant can build confidence and take meaningful next steps at her own pace.

Stories will be shared through documentaries created with each woman’s consent. They will help make the journey visible and invite the community to stand behind the next woman.
