The Worldwide Network for Gender Empowerment (WNGE) is a global network of social activists and researchers committed to gender equality and improving the status of women. Our work ranges from village level projects to improve girls' education, to national efforts to improve the status of health care providers, to international efforts to help victims of natural and man-made disasters recover from trauma and build resilience.

We undertake our work in the spirit of collaborative learning. Researchers, activists, and the individuals involved in each of our projects all have something to share and something to learn. We believe that genuine empowerment builds on every individual's innate strengths and is multiplied through caring relationships, acts of solidarity and collective action.

We invite you to join us! How can this network support the work YOU do?
