Building Constituencies for Equality and Justice

How can commitment to greater fairness to women be built amongst voters, policy makers and public and private sector institutions? What does it take to successfully build constituencies for a commitment to equality and justice - and to hold those who make these commitments to account?
Work under this theme will explore:
- how to create more demand for women’s empowerment, and how coalitions seeking to build commitment work effectively to influence and change the institutions that exercise public power and dismantle obstructions to women’s empowerment;
- how to institutionalise and legitimise women’s empowerment in the policies, actions and populations (staff, members, leaders) of these institutions, and how to create greater accountability within them, so as to promote social justice and wellbeing for all.
