Feminist Leadership

Transforming power structures through feminist principles and women's leadership in the fight against poverty and injustice.

Our Feminist Approach

ActionAid's feminist leadership approach recognizes that gender inequality is both a cause and consequence of poverty. We work to transform power relations and challenge patriarchal structures that perpetuate injustice.

We believe that sustainable change requires women's meaningful participation in decision-making at all levels - from households to global institutions.
