What we do
What we do
The growing inequalities, the rise of authoritarian governments and the roll-back of women’s rights seen across the world is alarming.
Feminist, women-led, women’s rights and environmental organisations are often excluded from decision-making processes and are increasingly under pressure in countries where civic spaces are underfunded and shrinking. Some of our partner organisations face these same problems.
As an organisation that has been working to improve women’s rights and gender equality in (sustainable) development policies and programmes, we want to work to combat this growing cause for concern.
To this end, we have implemented the ‘WomenPower2030’ project, starting in 2024 and ending in 2027, with co-funding from the European Union.
Project Aims

Transform Systems for Gender Justice
We want to improve the lives of women, girls and gender-diverse persons. To do so, we work to create systemic change by pushing for gender-responsive and feminist policies in climate action and international cooperation. By addressing the root causes of inequality, we aim to build a world where women, girls, and gender-diverse people can thrive—not just adapt to broken systems.
Grow Feminist Groups and Networks
We support over 350 feminist grassroots organizations, movements, and networks across up to 70 DAC countries. Through capacity building and resource-strengthening, we help them grow, connect with other feminists, sustain their crucial work, and drive meaningful change. By building strong alliances, we want to ensure that our global feminist movement is strong and united.
Strengthen Feminist Policy and Leadership
We aim to strengthen feminist leadership at all levels—local, national, and international—and bring more women, gender-diverse people, youth, and feminist activists into political space to key policy processes and events on gender equality, sustainable development, advocacy, organisational growth, and women’s rights. Beyond having a seat at global decision-making tables, we want to ensure their voices aren't just heard, but listened to, and their expertise recognized.
