Grassroots women leaders

As women mobilise, promote and lead social movements globally, they also confront deeply rooted traditional and religious gender norms. Thus, although activism has become an important trajectory of visibility for women, especially in the Global South, this has in turn increased their vulnerability as they become the targets of violence.

Centring on intersectionality, GIWL is exploring the difference women make through their leadership in activism, community work, trade unions and other grassroots organisations and movements.
