Our Work
We work in the fields of Feminist Foreign Policy, Women Peace Security, and Transitional Justice from a majority world perspective. Our core areas of work are research, documentation, training, and advisory support.
“Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions, for safety in the streets, for child care, for social welfare, for rape crisis centres, women’s refuges, reforms in the law. If someone says, ‘Oh, I’m not a feminist’, I ask, ‘Why? What’s your problem?”
- Dale Spender
What do we do?

Training
We conduct live training sessions and offer on-demand programs in the fields of Feminist Foreign Policy, Women Peace Security, Conflict analysis and transformation, and Peace and Conflict Studies. Our trainings center a majority world view.

We participate in multilateral processes at the international level, and offer advisory support to governments and civil society toward building decolonial approaches in the journey toward adopting Feminist Foreign Policies and WPS National Action Plans.
