WECF France is the French branch of WECF, Women Engage for a Common Future, an international ecofeminist network of organizations whose goal is to "build a healthy, sustainable and equitable world with women". WECF was created in 1994, following the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
The French branch of WECF was founded on March 31, 2008 with a double vocation: to act at the local level and to advocate at the national and international level to "build a healthy, sustainable and equitable world with women".
WECF France is therefore involved in major themes such as environmental health, the fight against climate change, food quality, access to water and sanitation, with, for each of them, the concern to fight against gender inequalities and to protect the most vulnerable populations, in particular pregnant women and children.
The WECF network has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). WECF is a member of the Women and Gender Constituency, the civil society observer to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
