About PublisHer:

PublisHer is a global platform dedicated to the advancement of women in the publishing industry. Created in 2019 by Bodour Al Qasimi (founder and CEO of Kalimat Group, UAE, former president of IPA International Publishers Association), its mission is to create spaces for female publishing professionals to connect, learn and support each other through mentorship programmes, networking events and initiatives. These programs have been developed with the support of leading women in international publishing to empower women while addressing the ongoing imbalances in the international book industry.

PublisHer has grown into an influential global movement that inspires and educates women in publishing so that they may pursue and realise their professional goals, while tackling structural inequities through practical, real-world, solution-based strategies.
