A safer world for women and children
We embrace pioneering research with local and national organisations to the UN and other international partners to understand and change opportunities, security and wellbeing for women.
We work to prevent family violence, identify and strengthen women’s security and role in peace processes, and understand and enhance the role of women in governance and public and cultural life.
