*Women’s Environment and Development Organization (www.wedo.org)– was founded in 1990 to put analytic and activist clout behind its two guiding themes: Women must have an equal say in decision-making on environment, development, population, reproductive rights, technology, political participation and other issues affecting their lives, their families and the future of the planet, and healthy communities make a healthy planet. In focusing on women’s roles, needs, and capacities in movements to restore the environment to sustainable health, WEDO is committed to empowering women. WEDO has a global information and advocacy network of more than 18,000, predominantly women who work with this international nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the social, economic, and political status of women.
