Now is the time to invest in South Carolina’s women and girls – to fulfill their rights, to facilitate new opportunities, to give voice to their diverse experiences, and to support them to lead the way toward a brighter future for their families and for all South Carolinians.
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.
WREN supports policy strategies that will make it easier for women to earn a living, advance in their careers, and support their families.
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.
WREN supports legal protections for women and girls and efforts to educate South Carolinians on the costs of violence to our families and communities.
WREN is a learning organization. We seek to gather and share information about issues that matter to South Carolinians. Through research, workshops, trainings, and digital education, we spread awareness and facilitate dialogue with diverse constituents across the state.
Through our grassroots mobilization program Tell Them, we bring the voices of more than 20,000 people across the state of South Carolina to the ears of their elected and appointed officials. We inform our members about key issues and legislation and provide a bridge to their elected officials.
Through issue education, advocacy trainings, and community conversations, WREN amplifies the voices of women and girls across the state and builds their knowledge, capacity, and networks.
WREN convenes the South Carolina Coalition for Healthy Families. Now in its eleventh year, the SC Coalition for Healthy Families is a non-partisan education and lobbying group that advocates for evidence-based policies that protect the health and well-being of South Carolinians. The Coalition provides a forum for sharing information on policy issues, coordinating joint advocacy efforts, and providing expertise and diverse viewpoints on issues to people across the state. WREN also seeks to build partnerships with groups across the state working on a diverse range of issues.
Our advocacy efforts focus on South Carolina’s state legislators, policymakers, and business leaders. We educate and communicate with decision-makers about issues and laws, policies or regulations that affect women, girls, and their families. Our goal is to make South Carolina’s laws, policies, institutions, and workplaces work for women.
Now is the time to invest in South Carolina’s women, girls, and families. We need people like you joining the movement, speaking out, and leading the way toward positive change.
