WEN at Ten: Challenge yourself to 10,000 steps a day, a 10 day hiking trip or 10 bake sales at work this year!

Please join us in celebrating our 10^th birthday by supporting our challenge to raise vital funds to ensure we can continue to make an impact for the next 10 years.

Brave members of the Women's Equality Network Wales community celebrated 10 years of WEN by jumping 10,000 feet from an aeroplane on 30^th April 2022! We are trying to raise £10,000 so we can continue to meet the challenges women in Wales are facing. WEN connects, campaigns and champions women to deliver transformational change in Wales.

Megan, Jenny, and Justna were ready for the challenge - inspired by the amazing late Dilys Price OBE, WEN ambassador, friend and one of our 100 Welsh Women who completed 1139 jumps for charity and remains the oldest jumper in the Guinness Book of Records.

Other fundraising activities include a cold water swim and a 10k steps challenge with Team WEN and friends!

About us

We work with our vibrant coalition of organisational and individual members to transform society – no one organisation alone can deliver equality. Our work sits under three pillars. We will Connect, Campaign and Champion women so our vision is realised.

Connect:

We want more Black, Asian and ethnic minority people, women, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people in decision making positions in Wales.

Our Equal Power Equal Voice: Public Life Mentoring Programme is a cross equalities partnership mentoring programme that aims to increase diversity of representation in public and political life in Wales.

Campaign:

In partnership with our coalition, we will campaign for change in six areas:

● Equal representation and leadership

● Stopping violence against women

● Tackling gender health inequalities

● Global responsibility and women

● Fair finance

● Caring responsibilities are valued and shared

Champion:

We champion the achievements of women via our International Women’s Day events and the 100 Welsh Women project, ensuring women have their rightful place in history and inspiring the next generation of feminists.

Rydym yn gweithio gyda’n clymblaid fywiog o aelodau sefydliadol ac aelodau unigol i drawsnewid cymdeithas – ni all unrhyw un sefydliad sicrhau cydraddoldeb ar eu pen eu hunain. Mae ein gwaith yn eistedd o dan dair colofn.

Byddwn yn Cysylltu, Ymgyrchu a Dathlu menywod fel bod ein gweledigaeth yn cael ei gwireddu.

Cysylltu:

Rydym am gael rhagor o bobl Ddu, Asiaidd a lleiafrifoedd ethnig, menywod, pobl LHDT+ a phobl mewn swyddi gwneud penderfyniadau yng Nghymru

Rhaglen fentora bartneriaeth drawsgydraddoldeb yw’r ‘Rhaglen Fentora Bywyd Cyhoeddus: Pŵer Cyfwerth, Llais Cyfwerth’ sy’n ceisio cynyddu amrywiaeth cynrychiolaeth mewn bywyd cyhoeddus a gwleidyddol yng Nghymru.

Ymgyrchu:

Mewn partneriaeth â’n clymblaid, byddwn yn ymgyrchu dros newid mewn chwe maes:

● Arweinyddiaeth a chynrychiolaeth gyfartal;

● Rhoi’r gorau i drais yn erbyn menywod

● Mynd i’r afael ag anghydraddoldebau iechyd rhwng y rhywiau

● Hawliau menywod byd-eang

● Cyllid teg

● Cyfrifoldebau gofalu yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi a’u rhannu

Dathlu:

Rydym yn dathlu cyflawniadau menywod drwy ein digwyddiadau Diwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod a’r prosiect 10 o Fenywod Cymreig, gan sicrhau bod gan fenywod eu lle haeddiannol mewn hanes ac ysbrydoli’r genhedlaeth nesaf o ffeministiaid.
