IWP women are like Portuguese azulejos

Azulejos are painted ceramic tiles. Each is beautiful individually; when joined together they create new patterns of diverse colours and motifs.

The azulejo is one of the strongest cultural expressions in Portugal and one of the most unique contributions of the Portuguese to world culture.

Like azulejos, the women of IWP each have their own personal identity. Together, they come from all over the world to make up a beautiful mural of experiences, journeys and life experiences.
