Gender and Development Network
The Gender and Development Network (GADN) is an influential network of UK-based NGOs and experts. Together, we promote gender equality and the rights of women and girls in all their diversity around the world. We collaborate with feminist organisations in the Global South, amplifying their analysis and priorities to global policymakers, and we hold the British government to account for its impact on the rights of women and girls internationally. In everything we do, we aspire to feminist, anti-racist and decolonial principles.
