Building Power Through Alternatives to the System

I’m Yasmina Benslimane. I build platforms that put power, money, and voice into women's hands. With over a decade of international experience, my work is rooted in a simple belief: when women lead, systems shift.

Through coaching, mentorship, and movement-building, I support women in reclaiming space, building confidence, and stepping fully into their power.

My goal is to help women believe in their own power and step into leadership. Women’s participation in social, political, and economic decision-making is essential to building systems that work for everyone.

Work with me

  • Consultant

    I consult for NGOs, funds, private philanthropy, and UN agencies on strategy, resource mobilization, and accountability.

  • Advisor

    I advise institutions in gender equality and social justice funding, and serve on the boards of several global initiatives.

  • Speaker

    As an expert communicator, I bring insights on women’s leadership, power, and systems change to global audiences.

From vision to action

As a 4x founder, my work moves between the political and the economic: training women to lead and channelling global demand for ethical beauty into the hands of women’s cooperatives in Morocco and across the SWANA region.

My consulting work is rooted in the same belief: that principles of justice and equity, turned into practical frameworks, make organisations more effective, more honest, and more capable of lasting change.

I collaborate with UN agencies, philanthropic institutions, startup incubators and accelerators, venture capital funds and impact investors, and I serve as an advisor and board member to several global initiatives.

Shifting narratives on women’s leadership, one conversation at a time

I use my platform and voice to spotlight the structural barriers women face worldwide, and to amplify stories that are too often overlooked.

Through digital advocacy, public speaking, and cross-border collaboration, I work to bring visibility to the people and ideas shaping a more equitable future.

My goal is to change how we talk about power and leadership, and to create space for women, especially young women, to lead, speak, and be heard.

Let’s work together.
