We aim to empower women to become agents of change in their families, networks and society, and to participate equally in an environmentally sustainable future.

“As the only UK organisation advocating specifically for women and the environment, WEN plays a crucial role in raising awareness of the gendered impacts of climate change and the links between gender, environmental chemicals, poverty and health. WEN deserves our support to continue its trail-blazing work” Caroline Lucas MP, WEN ambassador

Help support @traid campaign #23percent ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know that 23% of Londoners’ clothes are unworn?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's 123 million items of unworn clothes in London's wardrobes. Some pretty shocking stats. So what can you do to support this campaign? Generally speaking, most of us donate clothes to charity because we don't want them anymore, and we know that through our donations we can help raise funds for a good cause. This is fantastic, but sustainability is about doing more with less, so this campaign is an invitation to reflect and take action regarding clothes we do not need - on average, 18 pieces of clothing in Londoners' wardrobes! By passing on some of the clothes that we no longer need for someone else to use, we can help to champion the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Number 12 – to ensure sustainable consumption and production and spark positive change for our planet and its citizens.
