Solving the world’s most pressing gender-related issues 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.
GIWL is built on a global network of researchers and partners working towards a common goal of advancing gender equality. Find out more about our global network of organisational and research affiliates below. If you are interested in joining our community, you can learn more about working with us here.
