Mission and Goals



WEDO is an international organization that advocates for women’s equality in global policy. It seeks to empower women as decision makers to achieve economic, social and gender justice, a healthy, peaceful planet and human rights for all.



Through the organization’s program areas—Gender and Governance, Sustainable Development, Economic and Social Justice, and U.S. Global Policy—WEDO emphasizes women’s critical role in social, economic and political spheres.



WEDO’s goals are to:



• Advance women’s equality in decision making by pushing for a gender-balance at local, national and global levels;



• Challenge the current economic system and promote a model that seeks to achieve human rights, economic and social justice, gender equality and poverty eradication;



• Promote multilateralism and international cooperation to advance peace, human rights, and human security.



In order to achieve these goals, WEDO does advocacy in key global forums such as the UN, supports the efforts of women’s organizations worldwide, and engages U.S. women on foreign policy.
