The Women's Intercultural Network was incorporated in 1995 as a 501©(3) non-governmental organization consultative to the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
WIN's mission is to assure that all women and girl's voices are heard in all forums to give the full participation in their governments and economies.
Our Mission has not changed. Our tools and technology have. Our strategies change as our base is forced into new alliances and networks from an economic recession.
WIN UN Delegation, March 2011, with Anika Rahman, President/CEO, MS Foundation
WIN has been connecting women and girls across cultures, globally and in US communities since 1994 for collective action on the ground and on the internet to pursue our Mission. WIN built the first policy mechanism to implement the Beijing Platform for Action from the 4th World Conference on Women, known globally as CAWA- the California Women's Agenda.
Our goal is to create a global women's network that can function on the ground and electronically across cultural and digital divides for collaboration on mutual concerns. WIN is CALLING THE CIRCLE globally using the CAWA organizing model as a prototype.
