Women in Development Europe (WIDE+) is a European network of associations and activists that fights for women’s rights, as part of a larger struggle for social justice, sustainable livelihoods and human rights. WIDE+ believes that gender equality can only be achieved by working towards more caring, fair and sustainable economies that are fully democratically governed. To achieve this, WIDE+ advocates for changing European policies that affect people in and outside of Europe, and promotes collective feminist movement building in Europe to transform EU trade policy to protect women’s rights.
