DC Women's Agenda

The Washington DC Women’s Agenda (DCWA) is a local advocacy and policy coalition that began in spring 2003 to promote the equality, health and well being of women and girls in the District. The group is chaired by Wider Opportunities for Women.

The group’s guiding principles are to:

Support the voices of women and girls in DC and work toward their empowerment;
Educate its members and the community about those issues facing women and girls in Washington, DC and efforts to address them;
Identify the interdependence of issues facing women and girls and pursue policy approaches that incorporate this interdependence;
Ensure that the group’s membership and goals reflect the racial, economic, cultural, ethnic and geographical diversity of the District of Columbia.
