a centre for gender and economic equity
WIRE is a centre for gender and economic equity. We are a proud intersectional feminist organisation, and we are committed to creating a fair society for all women and gender diverse people.
WIRE's Vision
A just and inclusive society where all people can thrive.
WIRE's Purpose
Influencing structural change to bring about gender equity and social justice.
We see ourselves as initiators of change. We have been actively addressing systemic barriers to gender equity for over 40 years. We take a proactive stance on issues related to gender inequity which often leads us to areas less explored and frequently overlooked.
We believe in influencing the systems individuals live in, and achieving change by
empowering everyone to play a part in building a better society.
Our grassroots approach has enabled us to develop a deep connection with the people we serve. We recognise that social issues and their solutions impact everyone differently. We strive to be thoughtful activists, focused on creating structures and systems with those facing the most barriers, knowing that this approach will benefit everyone.
We are strategic thinkers and forward-looking. We learn from the past, but always look ahead and look for opportunities to improve. We know change can be hard and overwhelming, but we believe it is possible and we see it as our role to show these possibilities to anyone who is interested in creating a fair, just, and equal society.
