Various initiatives and commitments have been made over the years in the global pursuit of gender equality. From CEDAW to SDGs, G7 Summits to Generation Equality Forum, the transformative agenda has resonated across numerous platforms.

We value reflective space and aim to create an opportunity for people to work together and to learn from each other over time, and typically tailor our support to meet specific needs. Learn more about how we’ve approached this in some of our recent work with the The Gender Equality & Inclusion Conversation Guide.
