Where We Work

IWDA has worked in partnership with more than 200 women’s rights organisations and alliances across every continent except Antarctica since 1985.

Our focus is on working with and strengthening networks and movements to advance gender equality in Asia and the Pacific, as well as within Australia and more globally.

We work in partnership with local organisations in six countries across Asia and the Pacific. Our geographic proximity to our partners allows us to amplify voices, share resources, sustain exchanges, and support each other’s research and advocacy.

Our partnerships extend beyond our region – we know the power of global cooperation too. That’s why we’re also members of international coalitions that share our vision of gender equality for all.

In addition to our program partnerships, we collaborate on research and advocacy initiatives as well as on the development of new tools for global use, such as the Individual Deprivation Measure program. By actively contributing to national, regional, and global networks and coalitions, we create space for women’s voices to be heard and amplified.
