Transforming Unequal Power Relations
To achieve the society we want, aspirations alone are not enough. The unequal power dynamics that perpetuate authoritarianism, violence, discrimination, and exclusion do not change on their own.
At home, in bed, and on the street
To advance democratic values and practices, as well as equity and mutual respect at home, in the bedroom, and on the street, changes are needed in various spheres and at various levels: in social norms and popular culture, as well as in interpersonal and family relationships, in the community and institutions, in policies, and in political culture.
Change starts with people
We focus our work primarily on people who are driving these changes: activists and leaders working in their communities, in organizations, institutions, and the media, as well as in social movements fighting for the rights of women of all ages, LGBTIQ+ people, and the Central American migrant community.
Collective action is key
While people are the driving force behind these changes, they cannot be achieved through individual effort alone. Collective and community action is needed, as well as groups and organizations that come together in social movements to demand and bring about the desired changes.
