Networking, coalition building and partnerships strengthen and enrich the Global Women's Project work for social, economic and gender justice. Globalization, global economic integration and the technology driving them continue to create new challenges and opportunities which can only be met by working in and through international and domestic partnerships. These partnerships also bring us to a deep sense of solidarity with people in many difference settings who are suffering the consequences of poverty, social dislocation and conflict resulting from the inherent injustices currently built into the process of global economic integration. They frame our analyses and compel our actions to seek more just policies from the local to the global level.

Currently, the Global Women's Project is active is five key partnerships: the Strategic Partnership Program, International Gender and Trade Network (IGTN), U.S. Gender and Trade Network (USGTN), Interfaith Working Group on Trade and Investment (IWG), and CIDSE, a European Coalition of Catholic Development Agencies.

Through these partnerships the Global Women's Project is engaged with the wider progressive social movements which are carrying the agenda and political energy for more just global economic and social policies. Our niche is to bring gender analysis and a feminist perspective into the wider movements.

• Strategic Partners Initiative was launched in 2006 in response to a need to connect local community struggles to the national and global policies shaping them and to strengthen local constituencies to challenge these policies.
• The International Gender and Trade Network (IGTN), co-founded by the Center of Concern in 1999, is a network of feminist gender advocates working to promote more trade policy and agreements that are just, sustainable and equitable.
• U.S. Gender and Trade Network (USGTN) is the current North American region of IGTN. The Center of Concern coordinates the USGTN and represents it on the IGTN Steering Committee.
• Interfaith Working Group on Trade and Investment (IWG) was founded in 2000 following the WTO Ministerial in Seattle as the locus for faith-based groups to bring an ethical perspective to the free trade debate.
• CIDSE is a European coalition of 15 Catholic development agencies. Center of Concern is an associate member of CIDSE. Center staff are members of several CIDSE working groups. The Global Women's project is a member of its Trade and Food Security Working Group.
