allwomen

Allwomen is a term used to describe groups, projects, or campaigns that are composed entirely of women or that focus on women's empowerment. In practical use, the phrase can refer to organizations, events, media projects, or initiatives that restrict participation to women, or to branding that signals a female-led or women-centered focus.

In politics, all-women formats have been used to address underrepresentation, most notably in all-women shortlists proposed by political parties to select female candidates. All-women advisory boards or panels are another common application, intended to increase female representation in decision-making.

In media and culture, all-women productions, casts, or festivals emphasize women's perspectives and participation in traditionally male-dominated fields.

In business and technology, some companies or cooperatives position themselves as allwomen to highlight female leadership or entrepreneurship.

Criticism and debate: supporters argue such measures can help overcome systemic barriers; critics warn about gender essentialism, the risk of tokenism, or exclusion of non-binary and male allies in certain contexts.

The term "allwomen" is primarily used descriptively and contextually; its meaning varies with usage.
