Mary Robbins is a first-year MPA student specializing in international development and a member of the Wagner Women's Caucus, who assisted in the launch of the Global Women's Network.
With thousands of fantastic organizations working around the world on issues related to women and girls, it can be overwhelming when looking for opportunities to volunteer, work, or just another group dedicated to issues you're passionate about. The Global Women's Network (GWN), launched this past summer, offers a one-stop-shop for organizations dedicated to women and girls, serving as an online space to connect, collaborate, and create change at the local, national, and global level. Set up as a "wiki" site, GWN welcomes entries, edits and comments from readers, referred to as "wiki activists."
After learning that just 13 percent of wikipedia editors are women, founder Angie Peltzer hoped to create an easy-to-use platform that would encourages more women to participate in these online communities.
