about wen

Wen is the Women’s Environmental Network. 

We are an environmental charity working on issues that connect women, health, equity and environmental justice. We take an intersectional feminist approach to tackling the climate and nature emergencies. 

We support women and communities to take climate action, amplifying racialised and marginalised women’s voices, and advocate for change. 

We cultivate grassroots projects, connect women to nature, create blueprints for just food systems and put gender and intersectional equality at the heart of the green economy.

Our vision is a world where women, communities and the planet flourish because our society is equitable, collaborative and caring.

We work to create viable alternatives to oppressive systems, to end the exploitation of women and the natural world, and have a long history of working collaboratively for systemic change.
