Women leading decisions, not waiting to be included.
Gender equality is not a component bolted onto other programmes. It determines whether those programmes work at all — who speaks in a meeting, who controls income, whose safety is negotiable.
We invest in women’s leadership pipelines, work with men and boys on norms, and strengthen prevention and response systems for gender-based violence.
Women and girls are frequently excluded from decisions that shape their households and communities.
We support women's leadership directly — in savings groups, peace committees and local councils — rather than treating inclusion as an afterthought.
Women, girls and the households and institutions around them.
