About us

Women's voice is recognised by the Welsh Assembly Government as the key consultative umbrella organisation representing women's views to policy makers in Wales. We respond to consultation documents from all departments of the Welsh Assembly and many other public sector bodies. We work with partners to produce and deliver projects, literature, advice and research on policy areas delivered through the Welsh Assembly, Westminster, the European Parliament and the voluntary sector. As a collective organisation our members unite diverse interests, experiences, expectations and expertise in issues concerning the women of Wales.

Women's Voice represents gender as part of the Assembly's groundbreaking Voluntary Sector Scheme which promotes the interests of the voluntary sector in Wales. We attend the Partnership Council and a range of meetings with Ministers. We have presented papers on areas such as Gender Budgeting which have been taken forward by the Assembly.

Women's Voice has a seat on the UK Joint Committee on Women (UKJCW). The UKJCW principle aims are to eliminate discrimination against women, the advancement of equal rights for women and the securing of equal opportunities for women. It represents UK women's views at the European Women's Lobby allowing Women's Voice to give a voice to women in Wales on projects to be taken forward in Europe.

Women's Voice also works closely with other Assembly funded equality organisations.
