About Us
Established in 2002, Women’s Collective Ireland (WCI) is a national organisation that works directly with and represents the interests of grassroots women from communities in rural and urban settings throughout Ireland, represented by 17 Community Development Projects and a National Office.
WCI is core-funded through the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration, and Youth, employing over 50 members of staff.
Women’s Collective Ireland was born from challenge and has always taken collective actions for collective outcomes. WCI is committed to continuing to build on our culture of inspiring and being inspired by the women we work with.
