All over the world, social movements are pushing for equality, inclusion, and respect. From grassroots campaigns to global advocacy, people are coming together to challenge outdated norms and champion a fairer, more inclusive world. Because we all know: Countries with a high degree of gender equality are more peaceful, more democratic and more prosperous. Gender equality is for everyone!
At GIZ, the promotion of gender equality and non-discrimination is an integral part of our professional attitude, expertise, and action. Thanks to our Gender Strategy, the Safeguards+Gender Management System and well proven approaches, we are well-equipped to actively contribute to gender equality in our Organisation and around the world.
Let’s team up! Together, we have the power to work towards a world where every girl and boy born today can grow up in a society that values both equally, respects their rights, and provide them with the equal opportunities. A world, where people regardless of their gender identity can thrive.

Our goal of achieving inclusive and equitable societies is at risk. Populist movements and authoritarian regimes are restricting fundamental human rights, including those of women and people with diverse gender identities. This prospect motivates us more than ever to counteract these movements. GIZ is very well equipped to do so. The new Gender Strategy aims to pull our knowledge, experience and partnerships together to increase our impact in promoting gender equality and equal opportunities worldwide. It also provides strategic direction and key interventions to lead the way for the coming years.
