Wen (Women's Environmental Network)

Wen is the Women’s Environmental Network. We are an environmental charity working on issues that connect women, health, equity and environmental justice. We take an intersectional feminist approach to tackling the climate and nature emergencies. We support individuals and communities to take action, amplifying racialised and marginalised women’s voices, and advocate for change. We cultivate grassroots projects connecting women to nature and creating blueprints for just food systems and putting gender and intersectional equality at the heart of the green economy. Our vision is a world where women, communities and the planet flourish because our society is equitable, collaborative and caring. We work to create viable alternatives to oppressive systems, to end the exploitation of women and the natural world, and have a long history of working collaboratively for systemic change. We were the first charity to connect gender, health, equity and environmental justice. Since our radical beginnings in 1988, Wen’s groundbreaking campaigns have tackled issues from air pollution and plastic packaging to toxic chemicals in menstrual products and cosmetics.
