About GADN
The Gender and Development Network (GADN) brings together expert NGOs, consultants, academics and individuals committed to working on gender, development and women’s rights issues.
Our vision is of a world defined by social justice and gender equality where women and girls everywhere are able to claim and enjoy their rights, and live free from oppression, prejudice and discrimination.
Our goal is to promote gender equality and the rights of women and girls in the Global South who face multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, putting their voices and priorities at the centre of policy making. Our understanding is that change happens by influencing and challenging those with power, and also by building collective, positive power by working in alliances. As a network, we build and support collaboration among our members to maximise our combined influence. We recognise that how we work is important, pushing ourselves to be more feminist and anti-racist and adapting our methods to reflect new learning.
