Women's Image Network (WIN) is a charity that produces The Women's Image Awards, "Advancing a gender-balanced world and increasing the value of women and girls by celebrating outstanding film and television." The awards show is produced during the Hollywood awards season to promote deserving media and drive attention to feature films also contending for Golden Globe and Academy Awards.
WIN was founded in 1993 to promote gender parity because, to the extent that women's voices remain silent, everyone is robbed of their contribution. Its founder, film producer and director
Phyllis Stuart,
known for her films ''
Wild Daze''
and ''

Selecting only media submitted from film studios and television networks, their jury adjudicates and nominates work which either tells a dimensional female character's story or nominates work that is produced, written or directed by a woman.
