London VAWG Consortium

London VAWG Consortium logo

Womens Resource Centre (WRC) has co-ordinated the London VAWG Consortium since its inception in 2011. In 2019, Consortium members agreed to incorporate as a legal entity in a joint venture with WRC, a process that will be completed in July 2020.

Supporting and facilitating the Consortium is a corner-stone of WRC’s work, and epitomises the organisation’s approach to partnerships and collaboration. Working with the Consortium helps WRC to fulfil its strategic objectives of leading on structural change for women, strengthening women’s organisations and amplifying women’s voices.
