The Power Up! programme (2021-2025) aims to build, mobilise and transform power around three strategic agendas – bodies, voice and resources – and engages with women, girls and members of the LGBTQI+ community.
As part of the Power Up! Consortium, which implements the programme, Gender at Work is supporting Amhi Amchya Arogyasathi (AAAS) in India; Collective for Research & Training for Development – Action (CRTD-A) in Lebanon and its partners, Kadirat and Doria Feminist Fund, in Tunisia and Palestine; Kaleidoscopio in Mozambique; and Labour Research Service in South Africa to promote a just and equitable world in which all women live lives free of violence, exercise their voices and agency in decisions that affect them and access and control economic resources.
This brief describes the curiosities and hopes shared by advocates, thinkers and activists during a series of virtual learning events held in October 2022. The above organisations, together with Gender at Work, identified themes that will guide our collective exploration, evidence gathering and learning in order to develop and share knowledge on what strategies work best in building, mobilising and transforming power.
