The Women's Equality Center complements and strengthens the work of organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean to develop long-term and big-picture messaging frameworks around emerging issues and political opportunities linked to reproductive freedom and justice.
The Women's Equality Center (WEC) provides strategic communications and campaign support to the reproductive health, rights, and justice field at all levels, complementing and strengthening the work of organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean via grants, integrated policy and communications campaigns, and rapid-response operations. WEC currently operates across 8 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean: Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Chile, and El Salvador, in addition to other regional work.
As an organization, WEC prioritizes a collaborative environment, allowing for flexibility in the structure among teams and roles. We aim to keep boundaries between roles flexible to ensure that we're bringing the full range of expertise, experience, and perspective of every team member to the strategies we're developing and work we're doing. Everyone does a little bit of everything here - no job is too small. We've worked very hard to establish an organizational culture based on collaboration, candor, transparency, mutual respect, and trust. We take these values very seriously and expect that of any new member of our team.
