Women Thrive Alliance

Making Gender Equality a Reality

aka Women Thrive Alliance   |   Washington, DC   |  http://www.womenthrive.org

Mission

Women Thrive Alliance is a global feminist advocacy network with one goal: make gender equality a reality. We believe that gender equality can only be achieved through a grassroots-led, bottom-up approach to development that is centered on those most marginalized by patriarchy.

Our Alliance unites and mobilizes hundreds of women's rights and gender equality organizations in over 50 countries, equipping them with the skills, the connections, and the support needed to influence social and gender justice agendas at local, national, and global levels.

Through our training, coaching, and collective action, Alliance members take their place as equal partners in decision-making spaces so that their expertise and experiences contribute to strong and sustainable policies and programs for gender equality.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We are setting our sights on a monumental — but attainable — goal: achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls by 2030.

In 2015, 193 countries agreed to the United Nations' new global agenda to end poverty, Agenda 2030. This agenda is comprised of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), from ending poverty to combatting climate change. Ultimately, the agenda emphasizes leaving no one behind – creating a world where all people can thrive.

Women Thrive supports grassroots organizations working directly with women and girls in advocacy around implementing SDG 5 on gender equality. Equipped with skills, connections, and resources, Alliance members will track governments' commitments and actions and hold all stakeholders accountable to achieving gender equality by 2030.

Women Thrive Alliance is composed of 250 organizations in 50 countries. Each lends their experience and expertise to the network. Women Thrive staff have extensive experience in network building, training and teaching, and gender equality advocacy.

OUR IMPACT

Training more than 100 (and counting) gender equality advocates

Starting in 2014, Women Thrive took its advocacy training model, Raise Your Voice, directly to members. Since then, we've worked with over 100 gender equality advocates from 25 countries to help them build the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to raise their voices and be heard by decision-makers. In intensive, engaging workshops, participants – from Girl Guides in Ghana to young leaders in Senegal to experienced advocates in Kenya – built relationships, developed advocacy messages, and planned activities. Following the workshops, participants put their advocacy planning into action: some took their messages directly to Parliament, others started awareness-raising campaigns in their communities, and others worked together to influence regional and global decision-makers.

Securing Sustainable Development Goal 4

After nearly four years of hard work, Women Thrive and members of our Alliance were thrilled to see the language we'd collectively advocated for included in Sustainable Development Goal 4, which ensures every girl and every boy has the right to quality education and everyone—woman, man, girl, and boy— has life-long access to learning.
