Gender Justice
Challenging patriarchal or other structures of power and creating an enabling environment for gender justice requires interventions at multiple levels: societal, community, household and individual.
ACT Alliance wants to counter the backlash against women’s rights, including their sexual and reproductive health and rights, by creating a new narrative that positions faith-based actors and communities at the center of a transformative process. We want to be part of the solution.
ACT Alliance is committed to ensure gender equality and identity as common values and inalienable human rights. For this reason ACT Alliance has launched its Gender Justice Programme to challenge patriarchy and other discriminatory structures of power and oppression.
We believe in gender justice !

When it comes to discrimination, women and girls suffer the most; particularly those part of historically marginalized groups. We need to break this cycle of injustice.
Our members are our strength. The strategic projects that we have launched in different regions reflect a diversity of cultures, uniqueness, languages and objectives. We don’t believe in one model that fits all. To ensure that communities are truly served and change is sustainable, work for gender justice needs to be locally-owned. Bodily autonomy, countering fundamentalisms, transformative masculinities and the protection of all gender identities and some examples of themes that we are addressing in individual country contexts. These Strategic Projects enrich the Gender Justice Programme, and are one of the ways we directly affect change.
When addressing and dismantling the patriarchal structures that we all face, we must also confront the biases and oppressive practices in our structures. For this reason, ACT Alliance is working for all members to have in place a gender justice policy.
