Weaving Women’s Voices in Southeast Asia (WEAVE) is a feminist regional network of mostly women’s organizations that is self-organized and self-determined, advocating for women’s and girls’ rights issues in seven countries, namely Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia,  Malaysia, Myanmar/Burma, the Philippines, and Thailand. It is inclusive of the voices of marginalized women and girl children to enable them to participate and bring the feminist agenda to the fore and end impunity. WEAVE is a critical platform for women’s and girls’ rights that engages with ASEAN and society. 

Established in 2014, WEAVE is a critical platform on women’s and girls’ rights that engage with national bodies and ASEAN, and works in three thematic areas: 1) expose culture of impunity of states and promote access to justice as a fundamental human right in Southeast Asia, 2) work against sexual violence of women and girls in Southeast Asia, and 3) expose and critique the male-centric, sexist, neoliberal nature of the ASEAN Economic Blueprint Pillar. To bring this forward, WEAVE engages in documentation of girls and women’s agenda, capacity building, and movement building, and utilizes both online and offline spaces.

In its commitment to advocacy work, WEAVE values the experiences and voices of women and girls in marginalized communities in enabling them to participate and bring their agenda to the region.
