NEWomen’s Network is primarily concerned with strengthening the women’s sector and ensuring the survival of women’s organisations. It is about building partnership and collaboration between women’s organisations so that they can develop and raise the profile of issues facing women in the North East.

The North East Women’s Sector Network is organised regionally, with leads for each four sub-regions (Durham, Tees Valley, Northumberland and Tyne and Wear) and across six diversity strands (young women, lesbian and bisexual women, black and minority ethnic women, women with disabilities, older women and women of different faith groups).

As part of the NE VCS Equalities and Diversity Coalition, NEWomen’s Network is also involved in working with other diversity groups to bring the whole range of diversity and equality perspectives together in shared priorities and actions. Members of the Coalition work closely with people who are at risk of exclusion through discrimination, and with the community groups that support them.
