Women's Rights and Empowerment Network

WREN, the Women’s Rights and Empowerment Network, is a South Carolina-based network whose mission is to build a movement to advance the health, economic well-being, and rights of South Carolina’s women, girls, gender-expansive people, and their families. WREN is the only state-wide gender justice advocacy organization in South Carolina, and one of the leading organizations dedicated to gender research, advocacy, and organizing in the nation.

We advocate, educate, engage community, and build coalitions. WREN strives to create a diverse and inclusive movement that amplifies voices and advances justice for all.

ADVOCATE: We advocate with the South Carolina General Assembly and public agencies for policies and laws that will improve the status of women, girls, and their families.

EDUCATE: We educate the public on the issues that affect diverse women and girls and inspire action.

ENGAGE: We engage community and strengthen the capacity of organizations and businesses to support women and young people of all ages, races, and abilities through community conversations, training, and grassroots mobilization.

BUILD COALITIONS: We build coalitions of organizations, businesses, and individuals who are committed to improving opportunities for South Carolinians.
