Abstract:
The Women’s NGOs Cooperation Network of Latvia, established in 2003, serves as a vital platform for the coordination and representation of women's organizations both nationally and within the European Union. As the national coordination for the European Women’s Lobby, it plays a pivotal role in amplifying the voice of women in Latvia on a broader stage, ensuring their concerns and needs are addressed in policy-making processes. This network stands as the preeminent women's human rights network in the country, bringing together an impressive alliance of 37 not-for-profit organizations and 7,000 individual members dedicated to advocating for women's rights and gender equality. The primary aim of the network is to foster a collaborative environment where women's organizations can unite in their efforts to influence national and EU-level policies, promoting a more inclusive and equitable society. Its mission extends to empowering women through advocacy, education, and support initiatives, thereby enhancing their participation in political, economic, and social spheres. The target group for the Women’s NGOs Cooperation Network of Latvia encompasses a broad spectrum of stakeholders interested in advancing women's rights and gender equality. This includes not only the member organizations and individuals within the network but also policymakers, educational institutions, and the wider community who stand to benefit from a more gender-inclusive society. Through its concerted efforts, the network aims to create a lasting impact on the lives of women in Latvia, advocating for their rights and ensuring their voices are heard at both the national and European levels.
