Francesca Fenech Conti

Francesca Fenech Conti loves keeping herself busy! She has been working since she was 15 and has done all sorts of jobs, from creating souvenirs, waitressing, having her own shoe shop to project management and setting up and running IT training centres. For the past few years, she has worked and continues to work in the IT industry.

Francesca loves working with people and is a natural team leader. Her passion is creating social communities, and following the success of the Facebook group Are You Being Served (Rubs), which she co-founded, Francesca went on to start the most popular local online social group for women to date, Women For Women (Malta). Building connections with over 52,500 members since 2015, the group is a safe space where women can share their thoughts, questions and disclosures, highlighting many social and structural inequalities. This led Francesca to read for a degree in Social Policy, and she is now set to start a Master’s in Gender Studies.

In August 2020, Francesca officially founded the Women for Women Foundation, which aims to empower and support women and girls through the funding of education, emergency financial aid and the promotion of gender equality, as well as to invest in women short-term so they may improve their prospects long-term.

During the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, Francesca did not waste time. Instead, she put a small team together to launch Wham, another social initiative, this time concentrating on women’s health and wellbeing. Francesca and her team aim to promote and amplify women’s voices and health issues in the media. Francesca is also an outspoken women’s rights activist and credits her family, especially her husband, for always being her pillar of support and encouraging her to dream big, be brave and stick to her vision.
