WOLREC's primary focus is on ensuring women and girls have access to legal, social, and economic justice. WOLREC is leading a consortium with two other key partners, the Girls Empowerment Network (GENET) and the Human Rights for Women and Girls with Disabilities (WAG Disability). GENET, a feminist organisation, is dedicated to promoting the rights and well-being of vulnerable and marginalised girls in Malawi through prioritising issues related to social and economic justice, sexual and reproductive health rights, and inclusive education; and Women and Girls with Disabilities (WAG Disability) promotes the rights of girls and women with disabilities. Together, they are working on the implementation of the Pamodzi Kuthetsa Nkhanza (PKN) scale programme in Malawi.
