Our Purpose
Preparing the next generation of leaders with the training and research skills to reverse the leadership crisis and to be resilient and resistant to future shocks are the main goals for our partnership.
Building Feminist Futures
Building Feminist Futures was created in response to a growing global leadership crisis. Around the world, backlash against gender equality and rising gender-based violence, is deterring women from entering physical spaces and online platforms. These trends threaten the future of leadership across politics, peacebuilding, research, business, and education.
​
Inclusive innovators remain underrepresented in decision-making roles and face persistent barriers to leadership. At the same time, democratic backsliding, economic and environmental instability, increases in violence and insecurity and resurgent patriarchal norms are reversing progress on gender equality and inclusion.
​
Our partnership seeks to reverse this leadership crisis. By focusing on peace, justice, and sustainable economies, Building Feminist Futures works to strengthen feminist, inclusive leadership. We support the next generation of leaders with the skills, networks, and confidence needed to challenge inequality, respond to backlash, and build more just and resilient futures.
