Women’s Equality Day

Women's Equality Day is observed annually to commemorate the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing some women the constitutional right to vote. More than a century later, women continue to experience voter inequalities due to disenfranchisement, barriers to access the polls, and restrictive voter ID laws. The Wisconsin Women’s Network recognizes Women’s Equality Day, in order to bring awareness to the inequalities—at the polls and beyond—faced by many Wisconsinites due to their gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, sexuality, ability, identity, and socioeconomic status.

Our Women's Equality Day event serves as a fundraiser to sustain the Wisconsin Women’s Network and our work to advance the status of Wisconsin’s women and girls.

Our 2025 Women’s Equality Day event took place on August 28 at the Goodman Community Center in Madison. Learn more about the event here!  

 

THE BIG SHARE

Each March, WWN participates in The Big Share - an online day of giving hosted by the Community Shares of Wisconsin where community members come together to support local nonprofits advancing social and environmental justice. 

The Big Share is one of our most important fundraising efforts of the year. For the 2025 event, our generous donors helped raise over $6,000 for Wisconsin Women’s Network in just one day! $6,000 that will go toward training, mentoring, and connecting women throughout the state.

Join our email list for future The Big Share announcements and updates on how to get involved with this impactful annual event. Thank you for being part of this movement—together, we can create lasting change.
