Gender Action's mission is to promote women's rights and gender equality and ensure women and men equally participate in and benefit from International Financial Institution (IFI) investments in developing countries.  

About

APWLD developed from dialogues among Asia Pacific women lawyers, social scientists and activists, which began at the 1985 Third World Forum on Women, held in Nairobi, Kenya. The women participating in the dialogues recognised that while law is used as an instrument of state control over resources, rights and even women’s bodies, it can also be used to help effect political and socio-economic changes in our societies.

WHO WE ARE

About

TGNP was formed in 1993 as an activist non-profit organization, and in 2012 was registered as TGNP Mtandao Limited.  TGNP emerged through a collective process of critical reflection by leaders of key women’s and gender organisations about the situation of women who are the most exploited and oppressed people within the exploited laboring classes.

HISTORIA

En 1978 un grupo de mujeres decidió poner en marcha -desde sus historias, coincidencias y luchas- sus sueños para alcanzar la igualdad de género en el Perú.

Sueños que permitieron darle voz pública a la desigualdad, a la inconformidad, al malestar en la vida de las mujeres y trabajar por un espacio político ideológico, con identidad feminista, para alcanzar la igualdad de género en nuestro país. Liderazgos pioneros que nos abrieron el camino.

VISIÓN

GROOTS Kenya is a network of women self-help groups and community organizations in Kenya. It formed as a response to inadequate visibility of grassroots women in development and decision-making forums that directly impact them and their communities. GROOTS Kenya bridges this gap through initiatives that are community-centered and women-led.

About

The Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRDIC) is a network that supports and protects women human rights defenders worldwide in their defence of human rights.

Identity

We want the world to recognise that people who advocate for women’s human rights, whatever their gender or sexual orientation, are in fact human rights defenders.

La Federación Agraria Argentina, desde sus albores, ha trabajado para lograr una activa y protagónica participación de la mujer en su conducción institucional.
Hoy la equidad entre los géneros es una política activa y comprometida de esta entidad. Por eso ha constituido y apoyado el funcionamiento de grupos de Mujeres Federadas ARGENTINAS a lo largo y ancho del país.

Mission

The Huairou Commission develops strategic partnerships and linkages among grassroots women’s organizations, advancing their capacity to collectively influence political spaces on behalf of their communities and enhance their sustainable, resilient community development practices.

Description
