 Worldwide Network For Gender Empowerment

Worldwide Network for Gender Empowerment (WNGE) is a virtual network of scholars and activists from around the world who are committed to research and action in support of knowledge and change, related to women's and gender issues.

WNGE's purpose is to:

  • Work in the service of emerging through action and research.
  • Turn ideas into action through sustainable and measurable projects relevant to local cultures and communities.
  • Participate in action research on themes such as education, diversity, health care, human settlements, the impact of globalization, public policies, and violence prevention.
  • Coach, facilitate, and mentor with a network of colleagues.
  • Provide opportunities for personal and professional growth. 

Join the WNGE community or start a network in your own location! There is no cost to individuals to join, community members are expected to collaborate in the development of projects and the pursuit of additional funding to support that work.

Donations to WNGE are always welcome. If you would like to contribute financially to WNGE, you can donate to Fielding and specify that your gift be directed to WNGE.
