Special Initiatives

Wider Opportunities for Women launched a new initiative to work with select partners in the Southeast region. This effort seeks to provide enhanced services to increase the advocacy skills of low-income women and girls in rural areas working to promote economic and social justice agendas rooted in the principles of the Family Economic Self-Sufficiency (FESS) Project. WOW accomplishes this through strengthening and expanding alliances among progressive organizations within each state through “women’s economic independence” events, regional conference calls, and listserv network development. FESS partners bring expertise in child care, healthcare, tax and budget, welfare, wages, and community development to address the full picture of women’s economic well being. States include Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana and will soon expand to Mississippi and Florida. Through this effort WOW also been able to foster increased communication post-Katrina through sharing resources to affect change. Examples of WOW material include:
