GIWL (pronounced 'jewel') was founded by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard with a simple mission – to bring together research, practice and advocacy into a powerful force for change towards gender equality.
Based at ANU and led by renowned gender equality expert and co-author of the 'glass cliff' theory, Professor Michelle Ryan, we are a multi-disciplinary research institute with world-leading expertise on workplace gender equality and leadership.

By working to implement change where it matters most, we aim to eradicate the root causes of systemic gender inequality and create safe, fair and equitable cultures where all people thrive.

When it comes to gender equality, we take a three-pronged approach at the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership...

Take part in our research survey
We want to understand how gender dynamics play out on dating apps, and how much gender equality beliefs influence people's decisions about who and how they date.
So if you are someone who uses dating apps, we want to hear from you! We're looking for...
• People of all genders (and non-binary folks) aged 18+
• Who are currently using a dating app or apps
• Who have used the app to view male profiles (you can also date other genders and non-binary folks, but we're specifically interested in your experiences dating men for this research)
Addressing work-related gendered violence against Victorian healthcare workers
Work-related gendered violence is pervasive in the Victorian healthcare sector and harms employees’ physical and mental wellbeing, financial and work outcomes, the quality of care provided, and the healthcare sector as a whole. We are working with The Health and Community Services Union (HACSU) as research partners on their project, to understand the current state of work-related gendered violence in the sector, bring together the available evidence and offer evidence-based solutions to this systemic issue.

How can you get involved?
Solving the world’s most pressing problems cannot be done by a single type of expert working in isolation. We bring together diverse perspectives and different fields of research, and convene academics, policymakers, advocates and a wide range of organisations to understand and implement change where it matters most.
So, whether you're representing an organisation, are an academic or student working on gender-related research, or are just interested in learning more about gender equality, there are loads of ways you can get involved with our work at GIWL.
