Women Research Institute

Programs

The Women Research Institute partners with local, national, international, and bilateral organizations to create programs that empower women and their communities, based on the research we conduct.

Programs

Gender and Environmental Justice

The Climate Crisis exacerbates societal stressors, causing marginalized peoples and communities to be further disenfranchised.

WRI’s Environmental Justice programs focus on working with women, and turning them into agents of change from within their communities, and then out to the national and international spaces.
