Within our diverse feminist ecosystem, sharing power means we decolonise our practices and all become stronger organisations. This in turn, creates opportunities to exchange learning, strengthens our movements and powers our capacity to create long-lasting change for women, girls and people of all genders. Here are some examples of how we shared power with our partners in 2023/24.
