Title
WEN
Description
WEN is a unique, vital and innovative campaigning organisation, which represents women and campaigns on issues, which link women, environment and health. Formed in 1988, it is a registered charity and membership organisation that depends on its members, donations and limited grant support for survival.
WEN has achieved much over the years. WEN has a record of being the first to raise awareness on issues and of breaking taboos. We take up issues that other environmental groups don't or won't, especially those concerning women's health and reproductive systems. We have been asked to speak at many national and international conferences and are invited to respond formally to government policy and proposed legislation. Central to WEN's approach is the belief that women have the right to information to enable them to make fair choices. We also believe a precautionary approach is healthiest for people and the planet.
WEN has joined the Jubilee Debt Campaign, a coalition of national, regional and local organisations campaigning for the cancellation of the unpayable debt of the poorest countries, through fair and transparent means. The successor to Jubilee 2000 is keeping pressure on decision-makers to cancel debts and to ensure the cancellation contributes towards reducing poverty. www.jubileedebtcampaign.org.uk
