What We Offer

Our Values

Diversity

We work with and support women from all backgrounds, beliefs, abilities and experiences. We will value each other’s diverse realities and cherish the beauty of learning opportunities presented in diverse environments.

Autonomy

We believe in a world where she decides what to do with her body, mind and spirit. We will champion a woman’s right to choose her relationships, her goals, her dreams, and her future and help unlock the needed resources and opportunities to realise these ideals

Responsibility

In all of our work, we will strive for transparency, responsible use of our resources, fairness in our collaborations, accountability and integrity.

Innovation

Creativity, problem solving, learning, technology, intelligence, communication and forward thinking will be the hallmark of our work. We will not do business as usual, but will continuously seek and build systems that respond to present and future needs, both efficiently and responsibly.

Human Rights

Women’s rights are human rights. We will adopt a human rights approach to the work we do, working towards the full application of the rights of women as enshrined in international and national laws.
