WFP strives to strengthen the capacity of women who live and work on farms to claim their rights and fulfil their needs.

Women on Farms Project (WFP) is a registered South African non-governmental organisation (NGO) working with women in commercial agriculture, mainly in the Western Cape Province. The project grew out of a 1992 Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR) initiative aimed at meeting the specialised needs of women who live and work on farms (farmwomen. With the belief that a strong organisation of women, led by women, in the sector is vital to bring about change, WFP explored the options for building a member-based organisation through its network of Vroue Regte Groepe on farms. At a workshop in June 2003 with representatives from all VRG, farmwomen took the decision to establish a membership organisation of women, led by women. WFP is seen as a key role player in the sector and demand for its services and participation, both from its constituency of farmwomen, and other role players, remains high.
