The initiators of the festival not only want to display the works of female architects, but also offer the public and the media a platform for exchange and networking.

A look at gender distribution in architecture shows that the proportion of women in this professional field is still low. A current survey by Statista shows that the distribution of gender has only progressed slowly in recent years. The Wia Festival aims to significantly increase the visibility and influence of women in this sector and to promote equality in the long term.
