Women's Collective Ireland (WCI) is a national community development organisation, core funded by the Department of Children, Disability and Equality. WCI represents and works directly with women experiencing disadvantage, through our 17 Grassroots Women’s Community Development Projects and National structures. Born through community and feminist activism, the establishment of WCI ensures that there is a national and local structure in place to support grassroots women to network with one another and to encourage them in their journey to re-enter education and employment.​

​

The Women’s Collective 17 local Projects are best placed to identify and respond to the specific needs of grassroots women in their communities and each of them has developed a unique programme of work with women. Our feminist, community development, anti-poverty, and social inclusion approaches will continue to develop the way women’s community work is done in Ireland. We work to make real connections to ensure the voice and visibility of grassroots women.
