Anti-racism at our core

In 2023/24 we continued making progress against our anti-racism pledge. We held regular sessions led by anti-racism experts to unpack topics around colonialism, racism, power and solidarity with the movement. We took steps to ensure that anti-racism is at the centre of our strategies, culture and working policies and practices. 

This work doesn’t happen overnight. But we remain committed to constantly learning and working together with humility and integrity to decolonise our practice.  

Storytelling as a tool for change

Storytelling is a powerful tool for shining light on women’s power and agency. It is how we pass on herstories of movements, change and resistance. And it is stories that water the feminist ecosystem, encouraging us to imagine a decolonised, feminist future.

In 2023/24 we continued to share the stories from our partners, their movements and the courageous activists that keep them going. Behind the scenes, we worked to live our values through our storytelling practices and collaborated with our partners to bring the voices of feminist movements to the centre of all our communications.

Our partners shared their reflections on our storytelling projects:

“I constantly felt heard and in control of the narrative.”

“We independently selected the stories of women from our projects. This approach made it easier for us to share our work and highlight the impact we have made in strengthening the women’s movement.”

Here are some of those stories
