WIDE+ currently has 4 thematic Working Groups (WG):

  • Trade and Gender Working Group. This WG monitors EU trade policy from a feminist perspective, develops public positions and analysis on EU trade and gender issues.
  • Migration and Gender Working Group. This WG implements projects that promote migrant feminist movement building throughout Europe, and it engages in collective actions to promote the rights of migrant women and girls. The focus is on promoting democratic participation of migrant women accross Europe.
  • Feminist Movement Building Working Group. This WG reflects on strategic and current challenges and intersections within the Feminist movements and plans actions to promote feminist solidarity across Europe.
  • Feminist Economic Literacy Working Group. This WG aims to develop concrete projects to implement feminist economic literacy training, currently planned for Latin America and Western Balkans.

WIDE+ facilitates the following working groups around projects, that will end in 2026 but will be followed up in new activities:

  • FINDHR. WIDE+ is part of an EU funded Horizon consortium to implement a 3-year research and innovation project. It will in collaboration develop methods, algorithms, and training for an intersectional anti-discrimination approach that are contextualized within the technical, legal, and ethical problems of algorithmic hiring, and are applicable to a broad class of applications involving human recommendation. It started in November 2022.
  • COPGENDERED Project. WIDE+ is leading a consortium of seven organisations of which six are WIDE+ member organisations coupled with the key gender and climate justice organisation for Europe: Gender CC to implement a collaboration entitled: “Gender and Climate Justice: Knowledge for Empowerment” that is financially supported by the EACEA. This project builds up tools, knowledge and methodologies for learners to upskill themselves (in groups, individually or with a teacher) in the relationships between gender inequality and the climate crisis. This includes providing tools for adult education providers. The project started in January 2023 and will continue for three years.
