Gender Equality

Gender equality and women’s empowerment are central to all we do. It is not only a cross-cutting issue, it is a core focus. We believe the empowerment of women is fundamental for the realization of human
rights and key to effective and sustainable development outcomes.

We have an extensive track record of working for gender equality and women’s empowerment to lead powerful, transformational changes within societies.

We advocate for policies that equally empower women and girls, men and boys. We bring a media and communication lens to gender issues, promoting positive narratives and role models.

We build the capacity of women peacebuilders, parliamentarians, agricultural producers, and small business owners through leadership training and programs on women’s political participation.

We carry out research into gender dynamics, power structures, mobility and access to resources.

We work to eliminate structural gender inequalities in the labour market and reduce women’s unpaid
work.
