Civil Society Organization Partners

We work with civil society organizations around the world, supporting them through personal, strategic and programmatic change to strengthen their take on gender equality. The changes they make within their organizations are changes that the surrounding community can model and learn from. As a result, their work is infinitely more effective as local women are empowered and motivated to get involved.

Past participants form part of our network. They include The Hunger Project (India), Dalit Bahujan Shramik Union (India), Women's Environment and Development Organization, United Nations Population Fund, and Oxfam Novib.

The following testimony comes from a particpant in a Gender at Work-facilitated Action Learning Process: "Juma never gave up hope of attending school. He eventually became a role model. “Katana,” a class 8 pupil ... has registered considerable improvement in his class work since Juma has served as a role model. Katana’s mother says, “All he thought about was football and lazing about with his friends. It was impossible to tell that he was a school-going pupil! He would never listen to my instructions… and I was very worried about his end result….But now, he has a time-table and sticks to it. He is now respectful. I thought he was being nice because exams were nearing and wanted to win my favour in case he failed; but now I see that he is changed for the better.”
