This ranking was launched 20 years ago by the legendary Mediaholding 100% and World Woman Magazine under the leadership of the renowned entrepreneur, innovator, and international women’s leader Olga Azarova. From the very beginning, the mission was clear and visionary: to officially recognize women’s achievements, publicly honor their work, leadership, courage, professionalism, and impact, and to create a culture in which women’s contributions would no longer remain invisible. Public profiles and media pages connected with the ecosystem explicitly link Olga Azarova with Mediaholding 100%, World Woman Magazine, and the development of international women’s platforms.
Today, the main organizers of the rankings are: Mediaholding 100%, World Woman Magazine, World Woman Club, EABD, BOSS Club, and Global Development Alliance. Public announcements across the World Woman ecosystem regularly identify Mediaholding 100% and World Woman Magazine as core media partners, alongside business and international alliance structures.
From a National Initiative to a Global Movement
In 2026, the ranking has long gone beyond the borders of a single country and evolved into an international movement of recognition for women’s achievements. Today, such rankings, award projects, and TOP 100 WOMEN / TOP 100 WORLD WOMAN AWARDS formats are being held across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. Public 2026 announcements confirm editions or preparations in countries and regions including Ukraine, Lithuania, Georgia, South Africa, the United States, and the Middle East, among others.
This means that what started as a bold national project has become an intercontinental platform for celebrating women’s success. It is no longer just a ceremony or a list of names. It is a new culture of gratitude to women, a new language of public recognition, and a new stage where women’s achievements become visible, meaningful, and historically acknowledged.
The First National Ranking of 2026 Took Place in Vinnytsia, Ukraine
The first National Ranking of 2026 took place in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. It opened the new global season of rankings that will soon be seen in many other countries around the world. Public materials from World Woman Club Vinnytsia and World Woman Club video channels confirm the holding of the TOP 100 Successful Women Ranking (Ukraine) as a Ukrainian event in 2026.
The event was led by outstanding women leaders of the international community:
International President of the Club — Liudmyla Stanislavenko
Vice-President — Svitlana Gerey
National Ambassador — Elena Vykhrystiuk
Vinnytsia Ambassador — Marina Bondarenko
Thanks to leaders like these, the global mission of honoring women gains real power, scale, and heart. They do not merely organize events — they create a space where women see one another, support one another, and elevate one another to a new level of public visibility and respect.
Next Stops: The United Kingdom, Australia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Germany, Austria…
The anniversary year 2026 is only gaining momentum. After the Ukrainian opening, the next rankings are expected in the United Kingdom, Australia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Germany, Austria, and other countries. Public pages and announcements from the World Woman ecosystem in 2026 clearly show the widening spread of these award formats across multiple regions of the world.
This means that the idea launched twenty years ago has not merely survived — it has outgrown borders, outlasted time, and become a true international women’s movement.
Why This Ranking Matters
The National Ranking TOP 100 SUCCESSFUL WOMEN is not simply a list of names. It is an act of public gratitude. It is recognition that women build companies, develop cities, raise generations, create jobs, launch educational and cultural initiatives, support nations in difficult times, lead humanitarian projects, and transform the world through their daily work.
For two decades, this initiative has done something profoundly important:
it has returned visibility, honor, and public recognition to women.
That is its historic mission. And that is why it is now so widely supported across countries and continents.
