Theme 2026: DASTAK

To mark a decade of WOW, this year’s theme is “Dastak” — a knock that inspires.

“Dastak” is a symbolic knock on the door of the future, inviting empowerment, creativity, and transformation. It honors where we’ve been while opening doors to new ideas, voices, and actions.

In Urdu:

‘Das’ means ten

‘Tak’ means so far

This is where we stand—and the promise we make.

Ten years of reflection and becoming.
Ten years of women carving space in crowded rooms.
Ten years of turning lived experience into language, and language into change.

Come be part of the conversation. Come answer the knock.
