केंद्रीय महिला और बाल विकास मंत्रालय (एमडब्ल्यूसीडी) ने देशभर की 100 फीमेल अचीवर्स का चुनाव करने के लिए फेसबुक के साथ मिलकर ‘#100वीमेन इनीशिएटिव’ नाम का कैंपेन शुरू किया। एमडब्ल्यूसीडी और फेसबुक का ये साझा प्रयास देश की 100 ऐसी महिलाओं को चुनना था जो अपने-अपने क्षेत्र में कुछ अनूठा कर रही है। लोगों को मंत्रालय के फेसबुक पेज में जाकर महिला के कार्यों से संबंधित एक वीडियो अपलोड करना और बताना था कि उसने जिस महिला का चुनाव किया वह क्यों भारत की 100 सबसे प्रभावशाली महिला के रूप में सम्मानित की जानी चाहिए.”
15 जुलाई 2015 से 30 सितंबर 2015 तक मंत्रालय के फेसबुक पेज (https://www.facebook.com/ ministryWCD) पर ऐसी महिलाओं का नामांकन शुरू हुआ जो कुछ हटकर और खास हैं. एक निर्णायक मंडल द्वारा देशभर से भेजी गई सभी प्रविष्टियों में से 200 प्रविष्टियों पर 7 नवंबर 2015 से वोटिंग शुरु हुई, इन 200 महिलाओं में से विजेता चुनी जाने वाली 100 महिलाओं को सम्मानित किया गया। विजेताओं की घोषणा जनवरी 2016 में हुई। 22 जनवरी को राष्ट्रपति भवन में लंच पर आमंत्रित करके महामहिम प्रणव मुखर्जी ने हमें सम्मानित किया।
