Check out the individual profiles of our Associates.

G@W Associates are consultants with a range of skills and expertise who all subscribe to our values and approaches. We do not actively recruit new associates; new associates may be invited to join our community on the basis of their prior association and engagement in our work. G@W is also supported in its administration, finance, communications and strategic planning by a small core team.

Our Partners

At Gender at Work, we don’t just deliver projects for our partners—we work closely with our partners, guiding and accompanying you as we shift deep-rooted power dynamics and build truly inclusive cultures together.

We believe strongly that it is at the community and grassroots level where lasting change is rooted.

We help local groups and activists who know their communities best to map and challenge social norms, nurture local feminist leadership and make sure the voices driving change at the grassroots are heard and valued.
