At the centre of the We Rise Coalition is a commitment to building and sustaining the collective power of women in all their diversities.

Successive Triennial Conferences have provided an important space for the participation of civil society organisations. For the 13th Triennial Conference, the We Rise Coalition are seeking to support and encourage the participation of feminists and women’s human rights defenders to ensure their priorities and concern are heard, with a particular focus on economic rights, human rights of women and girls throughout their life cycle, and ensuring substantive participation of diverse Pacific women from marginalised groups, and urban poor, rural and remote communities.

Participant attendance has been made possible through funding support from UN Women (Fiji Multi-Country Office); and the Australian Government through the Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Program and their support of the We Rise 2 program, implemented by the We Rise Coalition.
