WELCOME TO WOMEN'S ENVIRONMENTAL NETWORK
THE ONLY UK CHARITY WORKING ON ISSUES THAT LINK WOMEN, HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
Our mission is to make the connections between women's health and well-being and environmental issues. We want to inspire women to make environmentally informed choices. 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. If you care about the things we do, why not become a member?

“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”
