Founded in 1995, WIA is the only organization dedicated to advancing women in the field of animation. We envision a world where women share equally in the creation, production and rewards of animation, and we provide resources and connections to make it happen.

As the popularity of animation has grown, it now reaches audiences of diverse age, gender, ethnicity, and culture. As this growth continues, so does the need to ensure that animation content represents the world as it should be, both behind the scenes and on the screen, to move culture forward.

WIA supports and connects women, transgender, non-binary and under-represented gender identity communities in the animation industry.
