Asian Women of Achievement Awards

Asian Women of Achievement Awards

"Co-founded by Pinky Lilani OBE in 1999, the Asian Women of Achievement Awards is a truly exciting and inspirational event that takes place annually in London. The awards applaud and celebrate the commitment, dedication and determination of Asian women from all over the country and from all walks of life. The awards have grown in strength and scope to become a key event in the diary and a sell-out each year.

"These awards have achieved a huge amount by raising public awareness of the achievements of Asian women in the United Kingdom and their diversity.

"They recognise all levels of achievement made by Asian women in the UK – whether professional or personal - within the commercial, professional, artistic and humanitarian sectors.
