    Goals / Remit

    WECF is a nonprofit network dedicated to a gender just and healthy planet for all. Our international network consists of over 150 women’s and civil society organisations implementing projects in 50 countries. We believe that a sustainable future and environment needs holistic solutions reflecting the lives of people on the ground. We believe in feminist solutions based on our partners’ visions and needs. That is why we work on transformative gender equality and women’s human rights in interconnection with climate justice, sustainable energy & chemicals, less toxic waste, safe water & sanitation for all.

    WECF has expertise in three thematic issue areas:

    - Sutainable development: We work towards the full realization of human rights, development justice and the right to a healthy environment for all, regardless of gender, age, race, sexual identity, education, religion, ability or social economic status. We work on gender equality, women’s rights and international solidarity. (...)

    Since November 2019, WECF is a member of the Partnership Forum on Development (PFD), after being involved in PFD meetings and in the Partnership Forum in the past couple of years.
