In order to affect change we will:

Empower people to navigate systems and make informed choices about their health.

Bring together groups to reshape systems, ensuring that the right voices have a seat at the table.

Advocate for health equity on behalf of people marginalised by patriarchal power systems.

Inform policy for better health systems and services, based on evidence and intersectionality.

Build capacity on how to apply a gendered lens in the systems and settings on which we focus across the social model of health.
