At Women for Women International, we are working towards a world where power systems and structures are transformed to better uphold and protect the rights of women affected by conflict and ensure their meaningful participation in the decisions, policies, and laws that affect them.
Over the last few years, we have seen how, globally, women’s rights have been facing backlash, increasing the barriers to creating safe and enabling spaces for women’s rights activists, coalitions, and networks to thrive.
That’s why we’re advocating to ensure that women’s participation, voice, and leadership are central to the long-term changes we’re driving. Through listening to women, we are building the evidence base needed to engage decision-makers at every level in a transformative effort to sustain an enabling environment for women’s rights in conflict-affected contexts. We also know that the journey ahead of us is a long one.
Using different influencing strategies and approaches – whether that’s through providing advocacy training to Change Agents, building our evidence base to inform policy recommendations, or contributing to collective efforts through movements and networks – we aim to shape more positive attitudes, norms, and behaviors toward women and target power holders at the local, national, regional and global levels to make decisions that are more responsive to the rights, needs and experiences of women affected by conflict.
Power systems and structures are transformed to better uphold and protect the rights of women affected by conflict and ensure their meaningful participation.
