Indian Women’s Press Corps
The Indian Women’s Press Corps (IWPC) was founded in 1994 in New Delhi, aimed at supporting women journalists in their professional endeavors. Established by a group of pioneering women journalists, the organization works to enhance their skills, foster networking, and provide a welcoming space for collaboration and interaction.
Housed in a heritage building centrally located in Lutyen’s Delhi, the IWPC serves as a refuge for its members amidst their busy working schedules and deadlines. It offers a supportive environment where journalists can refresh themselves, enjoy delicious meals from the IWPC kitchen, file their stories, or conduct on-camera segments within its lush surroundings.

Every year on 20 November, the World Children’s Day globally and in India marks the anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) — a landmark commitment to protect every child’s right to survive, learn, and thrive and grow up safe with opportunities to meet their full potential.
The day brings opportunities for call to action for all stakeholders for renewed action for child rights are realized by all children.
This year’s global theme, “My Day. My Rights”, recognizes that every child experiences life differently — their needs can differ – yet each child deserves dignity, opportunity, and protection.
UNICEF India’s campaign, “The Child in Me: My Promise to Children,” urges each of us to reconnect with our own childhood journeys and make an actionable promise to today’s children — to help them learn, play, feel safe, and be heard.
Building on the strong foundation, the #Promise to Children campaign calls on all of us to take small yet meaningful actions to give every child the chance to learn, play, and grow in safe and supportive environments.
Your voice has power. Your promise has impact. Together, our collective commitment can mean that every child enjoys the childhood they deserves.
This World Children’s Day, take a moment to re- member the child in you to make a difference for the children around you. Reflect on the promises that shaped your own life, and make one for today’s young.
Join the movement — share your promise on social media and tag @UNICEFIndia with the hashtags #MyPromiseToChildren #ForEvery- Child #WorldChildrensDay (Click Title for PDF File)
A collaboration Of Our times IWPC & UNICEF
Three decades after it was signed, the Convention on the Rights of the Child remains the landmark document guiding the destinies of millions of the world’s children.
The Indian Women’s Press Corps (IWPC), in its silver jubilee year, can play a significant role in highlighting the achievements as well as the guidelines that remain to be met on the CRC. To that end, IWPC is partnering with UNICEF, which has a 70-year old presence in India, and has had a seminal role in ensuring that the Convention’s guidelines are met, to raise awareness about the CRC and to further its aims.
To commemorate 30 years of the Child Rights Convention, IWPC, in collaboration with UNICEF, has posted a course on Child Rights online. All members are requested to view and take the course, which will provide valuable insights and information to help in their professional reportage.
2023-2024
“The Group of Twenty, or G20, has emerged as a powerful multilateral forum for cooperation between advanced and emerging economies. The member countries account for 85% or more of global GDP and serve two-thirds of the global population. The G20 is committed to promoting and fostering policy coordination to achieve global economic stability, sustainable growth, and prevent future crises.
The agenda of 2017, which included strengthening health-care systems, reducing malnutrition, health-crisis management and scaling up the fight against pandemics, has been expanded by India to include emerging trans-border and trans-sectoral challenges such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and impact of climate change on health. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reiterated that India’s G20 Presidency will be inclusive, action-oriented and decisive. The theme “One Earth, One Family, One Future“
