About Wen

Wen (Women’s Environmental Network) is an environmental charity working for feminist climate justice. We work alongside women and communities to build a healthier, fairer and more sustainable world.

Climate justice is feminist justice

The climate crisis affects us all, but not equally. Women, particularly those facing inequalities such as poverty and racism, are often among the first and hardest hit. We believe climate justice is inseparable from gender and racial justice.

Environmental challenges including pollution, global heating and toxic chemicals affect our everyday lives, from the homes we live in and the food we eat to the products we use and our access to green space and nature.

Working alongside women and communities

Working alongside women and communities, we support women to take climate action, build confidence and leadership so they can shape the decisions that affect their lives. Together, we develop practical solutions, campaign for change and push for stronger protections that improve health, wellbeing and the environment.

More than 35 years of environmental justice

For more than 35 years, Wen has shown that environmental justice cannot be separated from social justice. We believe the women and communities most affected by the climate crisis should be at the heart of the solutions.
