WECF (Women Engage for a Common Future) is a network of around 250 organisations in about 70 countries. Through our work on capacity building, policy advocacy and campaigns, we strengthen the position of women, in all their diversity, so that they can be a force for sustainable change. Together with our partners around the world, we show that another world is possible, and we are building an ecofeminist movement for a just and clean future.
