Based in Washington, DC, WAND serves audiences concerned with national security, public budgets, and governance, presenting its work as a platform for women to influence policy discourse and priorities. The organization is part of a broader sector of public policy groups dedicated to arms control, peace, and social justice, and it maintains an information presence through its website and related initiatives, including projects launched to track government decision-making. In its recent activity, WAND has undertaken initiatives such as launching a monitoring project related to the National Security Council, reflecting its engagement in current policy debates and oversight.
