Our priorities
Women's rights
Women, who pay the highest price of unjust policies and patriarchal societies, must play a key role in order to bring about social change.
Politics and economics
Representative and inclusive democracies and equal societies are important for a just world, but civic space is shrinking and regressive taxation is keeping people in poverty.
Land and climate
The climate crisis is destroying lives and livelihoods across the world. People living in poverty – especially women – are most affected. This needs to change.
Emergencies
The number of complex and protracted emergencies is increasing. As a result, more people than ever are vulnerable and need humanitarian support.
