Our Work — Overview
What We Do
Three ways we help movements for gender equality turn evidence into influence.
01 / CONTEXT
Equal Measures works across three connected levels of intervention, building the evidence infrastructure that helps movements use data to shape decisions, strengthen advocacy and advance change for women, girls and gender-diverse people. We help create the conditions that enable evidence to become a force for systems change, strengthening movements’ evidence, capability and collective power. Together, these interconnected levels help turn evidence into influence, accountability and lasting change.
Data & Tools: Trusted gender data, free for everyone working for change
Free, trusted gender data and practical tools, including the Equal Measures Gender Equality Index, that help Factivists use evidence to make inequality visible, challenge misinformation and influence the decisions that shape people’s lives.
Networks & Learning: Strengthening how movements use evidence to influence change
Collaborative learning cohorts that help existing networks and movements for gender equality strengthen their use of evidence, alongside time-bound support to seize critical advocacy and policy opportunities.
Country Partnerships: Changing systems, and the lives they shape
Tailored support for movements addressing challenges affecting women, girls and gender-diverse people, connecting evidence to the policy, service, budgetary and institutional changes required for long-term systemic change.
One connected programme
The levels are not a ladder, and deeper engagement is not always better. A public data tool can influence thousands of people; a deep partnership can help shift a single policy or budget that affects millions. We choose the level of support that fits the opportunity.
The levels also strengthen each other. Our global evidence helps partners make their case locally. What partners learn on the ground shapes the Index, our tools and our training. Cohorts connect broad reach with deeper partnership. Together, they help us reach and engage 100,000 Factivists by 2030 while supporting changes that improve millions of lives.
