MISSION STATEMENT

Women & Environments International (WEI) is a unique Canadian magazine, which examines women's multiple relations to their environments - natural, built and social - from feminist and anti-racist perspectives. It has provided a forum for academic research and theory, professional practice and community experience since 1976. Produced by a volunteer Editorial Board, the magazine contributes to feminist social change.

HISTORY

Since its founding at the first UN Habitat Conference in 1976, Women & Environments International (WEI) has become a well-established Canadian magazine with a multinational readership and worldwide subscribers. Originally a newsletter, WEI has become one of the longest surviving feminist magazines in Canada. Our writers, readers, and editors are people who inspire and create environments more responsive to women's needs through action, education, research, and awareness. Women & Environments International Magazine is a volunteer published magazine; its Editorial Board functions as a feminist collective.

The magazine has been housed by both York University and the University of Toronto; it is currently located in the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University, which provides us with vital institutional and community support. WEI Magazine is published twice a year and welcomes all forms of participation, donations, sponsorship, and advertising.
