Women’s Economic Empowerment and Justice
One of the key pillars of this project is boosting women’s economic empowerment and justice. The approach is holistic, focusing on creating environments where women and minority genders can thrive economically and socially. This means not just looking at income or employment, but also justice systems, leadership opportunities, and ownership diversity. The project evaluates gender-smart investments, highlighting how investing in gender-diverse ownership and leadership can lead to real, measurable impact.
Addressing Gender-Based Violence and Safeguarding
Another critical focus is on preventing gender-based violence and ensuring safeguarding measures are in place. The project includes designing platforms specifically for Southeast Asia to tackle this issue head-on. It’s about creating safe spaces and systems that protect vulnerable groups, while also addressing root causes through community engagement and evidence-based strategies. This work is vital in shifting social norms and policies to reduce violence and promote safety.
Health, SRHR, and Bodily Autonomy
Health, sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), and bodily autonomy form a core part of the project’s agenda. The team understands that without control over their own bodies and health decisions, women and minority genders cannot fully participate in society or the economy. This focus area ensures that strategies and evaluations consider these fundamental rights, supporting interventions that empower individuals to make informed choices about their health and wellbeing.
Project Impact and Sustainable Development Goals

- SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being – through SRHR and bodily autonomy initiatives

Care Economy and Climate Justice
The project also dives deep into the care economy and climate justice. Recognising the often invisible and undervalued work in care sectors, the project synthesises evidence and accelerates community-based care programmes. At the same time, it tackles climate justice, understanding how climate change disproportionately affects women and minority genders. By integrating these themes, the project supports sustainable, equitable solutions that address both social and environmental challenges.
