GIWL (pronounced “jewel”) is a multi-disciplinary research institute with world-leading expertise on workplace gender equality and leadership.
Founded by Australia’s first and only female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and led by renowned gender equality scholar Professor Michelle Ryan, we connect research with real-world action. We equip governments, organisations and leaders with evidence on what works, tackling the root causes of systemic gender inequality and driving lasting change.

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, you're an academic or student working on gender-related research, or you're just interested in learning more about gender equality, there are loads of ways you can get involved with our work.
