Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR)

WGNRR is a southern-based global network that connects and strengthens movements for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and justice. Our work is grounded in the realities of those who most lack economic, social and political power.

Through critical analysis and strategic actions, WGNRR connects members and allies, builds knowledge, organises campaigns and shares resources. WGNRR works to realise the full SRHR of all people, with a particular focus on the most marginalised. We believe that achieving this goal requires transformative social change. We therefore use a human rights, justice and feminist framework to advocate and campaign for the changes in social norms, legal frameworks, policies and resource allocation required to realize our vision.
