The International Federation of Business and Professional Women seeks to organise business and professional women in all parts of the world to use their combined abilities and strengths for the attainment of the following objectives:

1. To work for:
   • equal opportunities and status for women in the economic, civil and political life in all countries;
   • the removal of discrimination.
2. To encourage women and girls to:
   • acquire education, occupational training and advanced education;
   • use their occupational capacities and intelligence for the advantage of others as well as themselves.
3. To improve the position of women in business, trade and the professions, and in the economic life of their countries.
4. To stimulate and encourage in women a realisation and acceptance of their responsabilities to the community, locally, nationally and internationally.
5. To work for high standards of service in business and the professions.
6. To promote world-wide friendship, co-operation and understanding between business and professional women.

Thus realising the true partnership between women and men.

The International Federation of Business and Professional Women collects and presents the views of business and professional women to world organisations and agencies.

"To achieve a just and equal status for women in all levels and areas of society where decisions are taken in true partnership with men, based on mutual respect, for a more balanced and peaceful world."
