 WIN’s California Women’s Agenda (CAWA)  reunited at Harvest Time in the valley. with our Central Valley partners of 10 years.  We had  all been rallying,  marching and resisting.  It was time to have a “Converation about ‘what’s  been goin’ on in California’s Central   Valley  the past 10 years and what did women and girls want to do about it.   Critcal concerns were on the table such as Water, DACA. Voting, Jobs,   Environmental Justice , Violence, Gender Justice, Immigration, Racism, CEDAW,   Human Rights, Health Access , Reproductive Rights.

 

  We filmed awards to two women warriors, Mother, Irma Medellin, and Daughter, Isabel Arrollo. heard stories and  and  testimonials from a panel of young women from ACT for Women and Girls from a Panel of Farmworker women.  In their own words what is going on in their lives as rural women.  Photos and more about the women and their conversations.

We  introduced participants at the Call to Action  to the Cities for CEDAW Campaign  as a  tool  for  women and girls’ economic and social  equality in California.

Thanks for visiting the WIN site.

Our banner is who we are  –  women and girls bridging cultures, creeds, classes, ages and gender preference.

Our mission is to assure that all women and girl’s voices are heard for full participation in their government and economy.  We do this by linking them across geographical boundaries and cultures creating exchange of ideas and skills in policy, professional and economic leadership.

WIN built the first state policy mechanism to implement the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA) from the 1995 4th World Conference on Women known globally as CAWA – the California Women’s Agenda. WIN’s Calling the Circles’ initiative took our mission global using CAWA as a replicable organizing model. We co-founded US Women Connect (USWC),  US policy mechanism for the BPFA,

 

WIN is co-architect of the Cities for CEDAW Campaign (The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) that is bringing the global UN Women’s Treaty to the grassroots of America with 60 cities currently engaged.

 

Our aim is to create and connect women’s and human rights networks locally and globally to function on the ground and electronically across barriers and divides for collaboration on emerging critical concerns. We design new models for digital and analog communication for joint advocacy of  to these concerns.

WIN was incorporated in 1995 as a 501©(3) (NGO) non-governmental organization consultative to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)
