Our Focus

What We Do

Our work focuses on the interconnected challenges affecting women, girls, youth and communities.

Access to Justice for women and girls

Legal aid & paralegal support

We strengthen women’s and girls’ ability to understand, claim and exercise their rights and to access responsive justice and protection systems.

Women’s Rights & Gender Equity

Women's rights & protection

We advance gender equity, women’s leadership, meaningful participation and the protection of women’s and girls’ rights.

Gender, Peace & Security

Security & Peacebuilding

We advance women’s meaningful participation and leadership in conflict prevention, peacebuilding and decision-making, while strengthening community-based early warning and response systems and supporting efforts to prevent violent extremism.

Gender & Economic Empowerment

Economic Empowerment

We address structural barriers that limit women’s and youth economic participation, resilience and access to opportunities and resources.

Programme Quality & Organisational Development

Programme Quality & Organisational Development
