WREN: Women's Rights & Empowerment Network

WREN is the voice for South Carolina women and girls. We advocate, educate and empower.

About WREN

Speak Up for Civil Dialogue

South Carolina has one of the lowest percentages of women in a state legislature -- 14.5% in the House and 8.6% in the Senate. For the few and fierce females in office, we need to stand in support of them when they are being silenced or met with aggression. Sign Our Petition

Health and Education

WREN advocates for policies that address the barriers that families, predominantly women and mothers, face when accessing the resources needed to make healthy and well informed decisions.
Economic Opportunity

WREN advocates for closing the wage gap. We support policy strategies that will make it easier for women to earn a living, advance in their careers, and support their families.
Leadership and Civic Engagement

WREN is committed to fostering an environment in which women are encouraged to lead and to advocate for policies that positively impact our lives and our children’s future.

In Their Own Words

"After years of working for women's rights nationally and internationally, it is only right that I come back home to SC and do what I can to support women and girls and their families.
