Our Projects

Power Up! exists to catalyse the leadership and voice of womxn in all their diversity. As a Consortium of womxn’s rights organisations, our goal is to actively support womxn-led collectives, movements, and organisations in their efforts to challenge and dismantle oppressive structures of power.

Using storytelling as an entry point to inform research, programming and action, this five-year initiative aims to understand pathways and factors that lead to changes in social norms, which in turn can influence transformative shifts towards gender equality and social inclusion.

Starting in 2016, Gender at Work has been on a collective journey to enhance gender integration within development research institutions with the Canadian International Development Research Center (IDRC). Now entering a new phase, this project will address both core research issues and power dynamics within the use of AI in development research.

Drawing on feminist pedagogical methodologies, and through a variety of learning formats accommodating diverse styles and schedules, our Transformative Leadership courses engage participants from a range of sectors in peer learning, reflection on power dynamics, and exploration of transformative leadership for gender equality.

Equimundo – Center for Masculinities and Social Justice approached Gender at Work to collaborate on the initial phase of this project, to explore the potential for developing norms and standards for male allyship programmes, and to document a range of approaches (through case studies) to male allyship and women’s leadership.

For more than a decade, Gender at Work has been a strategic ally to Oxfam globally, integrating a gender perspective into their mission of combating inequality and addressing poverty and injustice.
